Songs of Alexander Macdonald
Introduced and sung by J. C. M. Campbell
Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair , or Alexander Macdonald , is considered by many to have been the supreme Gaelic poet of eighteenth-century Scotland. He was also a mouthpiece for the ideas and loyalties that inspired the Jacobite rebellions, and it is this aspect of his poetry and song that James Campbell takes for the theme of this programme.
