Angus Mackay's four untitled manuscripts of bagpipe music.
The first two manuscripts are of piobaireachd; the second two, of marches, strathspeys, reels, jigs, and other dance music.
According to Angus Mackay's inscription in his Seaforth Manuscript (MS.3744) he was at work on these manuscripts between 1826 and 1840, taking the tunes down from his father's canntaireachd.

Donald Dow died in Glasgow in 1892, aged 56.
Bagpipe music copied by Donald Dow., 2nd half of 19th century.
According to a note on Dow and his manuscripts (folio i) by Archibald Campbell, Secretary of the Music Committee of the Piobaireachd Society, the piobaireachd in this volume were apparently copied, like those in Skinner's Manuscript (MS.3746 above), from Duncan Campbell's Manuscript. Between them these two manuscripts (MSS.3746 and 3750) contain all but four of the piobaireachd in Duncan Campbell's Manuscript.
