Niel Gow, the head of the family so far as music is concerned, was born in 1727 near Dunkeld.
Having attained a good deal of distinction as a performer and composer of Scots violin music, he published through Messrs. Corri & Sutherland, his First and Second Collection of Strathspey Reels, the latter being issued in1788, and the former a few years previously.
