-"Athole Brose is, according to one recipe, a drink made from the water in which oatmeal has been soaked, mixed with honey and whisky. Stirred with a silver spoon, it is bottled and kept until needed" (Alburger, 1983). Alburger (1983) and Collinson (1966) credit composition to Abraham MacIntosh {b. 1769} (whose father was Robert 'Red Rob' Macintosh, also a fiddler and composer of notable ability), who first published it under the title "Buckingham House," first appearing in his father's '''A Third Book of Sixty-Eight New Reels and Strathspeys: Also above forty old Famous Reels''' (Edinburgh, 1796) where it is credited to "Mackintosh Junior". Glen (1891) and Emmerson (1971) remark that such belief is largely based on an ascription to 'Mackintosh, junior' in his father's third book, though it could refer to Abraham's brother Robert (though the latter did not publish any collection). Since the sub-title was "Niel Gow's Favourite," and it appears in Gow's '''Third Collection of Strathspey Reels''' (Edinburgh, 1792), it has often been mistakenly credited to that famous fiddler. The following lines appear in Alexander Whitelaw's Book of Scottish Song (1844):<blockquote>
+|image=TUC-160x120.png
-''You've surely heard o' the famous Niel,''<br>
+|image_alt=Traditional universal music
-''The man that played the fiddle weel;''<br>
+}}
-''I wat he was a canty chiel,''<br>
+<!-- ************ PLEASE!!!!! ************* -->
-''And dearly loved the whisky, O''<br>
-''And aye sin' he wore tartan hose,''<br>
-''He dearly lo'ed the Athole Brose;''<br>
-''And wae was he, yu may suppose,''<br>
-''To bed 'farewell to whisky', O.''<br>
-</blockquote>
-Cape Breton fiddlers play it as a strathspey in the key of D, where it is often the vehicle for stepdancing. It is also often the practice on the island to play the reel "General Stewart" (AKA "Lady Muir MacKenzie") following it (Dunlay & Greenberg, 1996). Cape Breton fiddler Jackie Dunn, in her thesis "Tha Bals na Gaidhlig air a h-Uile Fidhleir" (The Sound of Gaelic is in the Fiddler's Music), 1991, remarks that there is known to have been Gaelic words to "Athole Brose." In Ireland the melody is known as "[[Dogs Amongst the Bushes (The)]]." Sources for notated versions: Fr. Angus Morris (Cape Breton) [Dunlay & Greenberg]; Peter Chaisson, Jr. (b. 1942, Bear River, North-East Kings County, Prince Edward Island) [Perlman]; Robert Mackintosh's 1796 collection [S. Johnson].
