COMELY GARDEN. Scottish, Reel. A Mixolydian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. One of the most celebrated compositions by Donald (sometimes Daniel) Dow (1732-83) originally of Kirkmichael, Perthshire. John Glen (1891) believes the earliest printing of the tune in Daniel Dow's c. 1775 collection (p. 10), though it had appeared earlier in the Gillespie Manuscript of Perth (1768). It is one of the "missing tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian dance tune manuscript and was also later published by the Gows.
Printed sources: Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 410. Gow (Complete Repository), Part 3, 1806; p. 24. Stewart-Robertson (The Athole Collection), 1884; p. 13.
