Niel Gows Oak
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.
See this old oak tree as part of the easy-going Inver Walk described in the Dunkeld and Birnam Walks leaflet available from Dunkeld Tourist Information Centre.
