Niel Gows Oak
Forests & Woodlands
Overview
According to local folklore, many of Scotland's best loved strathspeys and reels were played or even composed under this tree.
Famous fiddler, Niel Gow (1727 -1807), lived at nearby Inver, and liked to sit at this quiet spot and let his music drift across the River Tay.
