John Gow was a notorious pirate whose short career was immortalized by Charles Johnson in A General History of the Pyrates. Gow was probably born in Wick, Caithness, to William Gow, a merchant, and Margaret Calder. He was raised in Stromness, Orkney. Little is known of his life, except from an account by Daniel Defoe, which is often considered unreliable, the report on his execution, and account by Mr. Alan Fea, a descendent of his captor, published in 1912, almost two centuries after his death.
