LADY ELENORA HOME [1]. Scottish, Reel. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. John Glen (1891) finds the earliest appearence of this tune in print in Daniel Dow's c. 1775 collection (p. 5). Gow (1817) attributes it to Dow, an Edinburgh composer and music teacher who lived from 1732 to 1783, perhaps most famous as the composer of "Money Musk." His collection of Scots tunes called Thirty-seven new reels and strathspeys (1775) appears to be the first collection to include the word "strathspey" in its title. Dow's family is known to have stayed in Strathardle and his son (John Dow) was born at Kirkmichael. The elder Dow's first name has been given as Daniel or Donald (both acceptable translations for the Gaelic 'Domhnull'). He was buried in the Canongate Kirk, Edinburgh on January 20th, 1783.
