Yes I would love to have a photo of Neil Gow's gravestone. I have seen his pocheete in the Burrell Collection in Glasgow. He contributed greatly to the preservation of Scottish traditional music Jane – thank you so much for contacting me. Yes I would love to have a photo of Neil Gow’s gravestone.

I'll be going up there during my Easter hols, so would you like a pic of his gravestone? From memory, it's large & imposing, but I know it has a carved fiddle & music on it. I can't remember if it's a real fiddle & music or just a token representation. Also, somewhere I have an account of his funeral, which had been a huge affair. If either of these are of any interest to you, I'd be happy to forward them. Best wishes Jane Mactavish Hi Jerry
