The item I most wanted to see and handle was shown to me by the man who had been castle administrator for many years, Alistair Munro.
That is his fiddle and that is probably the best known one, the one which most people who come and visit the castle look at and identify with.
Yes.
Where was it made, Alistair?
Oh, it's a locally made fiddle and there is a date on it, if you look there, about 1786, probably made about the same time as that portrait was painted.
How old do you think Neil Gow was at the time the portrait was painted?
Oh, just almost 60, probably.
How long did he live after that?
He lived for another 20 years.
That was a long life in those days, wasn't it?
Yes, it was.
He was fiddler, of course, to the second Duke, the third Duke and the fourth Duke.
I've got the fiddle in my hands.
Can I have a wee tune on it?
I hoped you'd say that.
Anything in particular?
Oh, I think Neil Gow's fiddle would be the appropriate tune to play.
Oh, wouldn't it?
OK, here goes.
