B:Bowie Manuscript (c. 1695, f.16v)
N:The MS was once in the possession of George Bowie, who entered his
N:name with the date 1705 in the front. It is unlikely that Bowie was the author
N:of the MS., which, at any rate contains a number of known and suspected
N:compositions of John McLachlan, an Edinburgh musician in the 1690's.
