You're educating me, and with music that I could listen to again and again. Thanks, Kevin.

Lovely - heard this one quite often but normally not on a banjo of any description. May have a go at this 1 myself.

The banjo/banjola can be pretty versatile. Not understanding this kept me from playing for years. If I like the tune, I'll at least try to play it.

Really good, Kevin. You really got the essence of the tune. One thing to note is that his first name is spelled Niel which is unusual.

Last year I played at Blair Atholl Castle which has Niel Gow's fiddle and the famous Henry Raeburn portrait of him on the wall. The Duke of Atholl was Gow's patron.

Like you never heard something like that before Iain!

There are a number of towns in the US named Atholl or Athol. I know there's an Athol Massachusetts, not too far from where I used to live in Connnecticut. They are often the butt of many a jest (pun intended).
