Neil Dougall
1776 - 1862 Person Name: Neill Dougall, 1776-1862 Composer of "KILMARNOCK" in The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook Born: December 9, 1776, Greenock, Renfrewshire, Scotland.
Died: October 1, 1862, Greenock, Scotland.
Buried: Greenock, Scotland.
Neil’s father, wheelwright Neill Dougall, was drafted into the army, and died in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) when his son was only four years old. At age 15, Neil became an apprentice on the ship Britannia. In 1795, while he was loading a gun to fire the second volley of a salute to commemorate Lord Howe’s victory over the French, an explosion blinded him and took his arm. After recovering, he began his musical career. In 1798, he attended a singing class under Robert Duncan, and in the fall of the next year opened his own class, which he ran until 1844. He gave annual concerts in Greenock from 1800 [sic, Frost] to 1860.
