England, Northumberland. Canada; Prince Edward Island, Cape Breton. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Kerr): AAB (Athole, Gow): AABB' (Phillips): AA'BB' (Cranford). Composed by Edinburgh composer and music teacher Daniel Dow (1732-1783), most famous as the composer of "[[Monymusk]]." Glen finds the tune first published in Daniel Dow's c. 1773 or 1775 (p. 2) and Neil Stewart's 1761 (p. 65) collections. In the opinion of Mr. Troup of Ballater (as cited by David Baptie in '''Musical Scotland, Past and Present''', 1894, p. 46) "Bonny Lass of Fisherrow" is among the dozen or so of Dow's best compositions.  The tune's title appears in Henry Robson's list of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes, which he published c. 1800. As "[[Bonnie Kate (1)]]" the tune is played in Ireland in the key of D Major. On Prince Edward Island the tune is often played in a medley between "[[Rothermurches Rant]]" and "[[Bird's Nest (The)]]." It was printed by Thompson in his '''Compleat Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances''' (p. 25) of 1786, which version was reprinted by Brendan Breathnach in his '''Ceol Rince na hÉirreann''', vol. 1, No. 174 (1963).
