AB (Athole, Cole): AAB (Gow): AABB' (Kerr, Skye). Composed by Niel Gow's eldest son William (1751-1791), who was leader of the Edinburgh Assembly Orchestra until his death. He was replaced in that position by his younger brother, Nathaniel. Variants of the tune are known in Cape Breton as "Blind Nora O'Neill," printed in Boston in Ryan's Mammoth Collection (1885) as "Blind Nora."
