Hi Brian, I'm afraid my research into the Black Watch hasn't stretched too far at the moment. All I have is a list of names who are commemorated on the War Memorial to the Boer War dead in Edinburgh. I'm afraid that it doesn't list a John Low as either killed in action or dying from disease. What I can do is get you the address of the Black Watch museum as well as some other contacts which may be able to help you. I know that one of the battalions of the Black Watch was stationed in India during the war as my great-uncle died of jaundice while there. I'll get back to you with some details if you like.Perhaps someone else on this list can help you out?
