The John Bowie Collection (1759-1815)
A collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances with bass for violincello or harpsichord by John Bowie Perth 1789.
He was from Tibber More in Perth and was a musician, and he became a music seller of sheet music and instruments in 1803 in Perth. He and his brother Peter ran balls and played at them themselves. He composed four new tunes which he issued as a “broadsheet”in 1797 and this included a slow set of The Braes of Mar. In 1801 he issued another broadsheet which was published and sold at his music shop including a new strathspey called the “Perthshire Yeomanry” and “Lady Herriot Hay’s” reel, many of which are still danced to today. His “Collection of Strathspey Reels and Country Dances” was published in Edinburgh in 1789.
Bowie died in 1815 in his 56th year.
