Old Photograph Inver Dunkeld Scotland

Old photograph of cottages in Inver by Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland. Niel Gow, born 1727, died 1807, was the most famous Scottish fiddler of the eighteenth century. Gow was born in Inver, Perthshire, as the son of John Gow and Catherine McEwan. He started playing the fiddle when very young and at age 13 received his first formal lessons from one John Cameron. In spite of being something of a musical prodigy, he originally trained as a weaver, but eventually gave up that trade to become a full time musician.
