Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Cranford): AAB (Little, Skinner, Skye): AABB (Hardings, Williamson). "Alluding to permitting whiskey to be distilled in the year 1801. It is a merry dancing tune" (Gow). Composed by famed Perthshire fiddler-composer Niel Gow (1727-1807). In many collections (beginning with the Gow family’s '''Fifth Collection''', 1809)  it is paired with Gow's "[[Farewell to Whiskey (1)]]", lamenting the ban on whiskey making in the late 18th century. It has been set in several keys, however, the composer set it in B flat major. Athole Collection.
