Scottish journalist, poet, and Spiritualist. As a poet Gow contributed to such journals as Cassell's Saturday Journal, London Magazine, and London Scotsman and his poems were included in such anthologies as Modern Scottish Poets and Book of Highland Verse. He was author of Four Miles From Any Town (1929) and edited Ask the Spirits (1934).
Gow was an outstanding figure in British Spiritualism. In January 1914 he took over editorship of the famous Spiritualist journal the Light following the death of editor E. W. Wallis. Gow continued in that position until 1930. He was a lucid and prolific writer on psychic literature and philosophy and knew many of the leading figures in the field, including Agnes Guppy-Volckman and Emma H. Britten.
