I think I got the key right? One of these settings gives the composer as Nathaniel Gow, so I'm a little puzzled. I thought Nathaniel was Neil (Niel) Gow's son?

John Wild Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Thanks for the link to the TTA. I had been trying to think which song it reminded me of, and it is given there - the Haughs of Cromdale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
