Dougie MacLean Biography

Dougie MacLean is one of Scotland's finest singer-songwriters, with a very rich, heavily-accented voice. He is a multi-instrumentalist (harp, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, didgeridoo, guitar) with a large back catalogue. His first release was in 1983 with the album "Craigie Dhu", although he had already recorded other albums, such as "Snaigow" and "Fiddle", which were not released till much later. He began his career playing with the Tannahill Weavers. His most recent album is "Inside The Thunder". Perhaps his best known track is Caledonia, used for a Scottish Tourist Board advert, and very reminiscent of Scotland. His lyrics are fervently pro-Scottish, a recurring theme is the Highland Clearances. He also campaigns for the Aborigines and the native Americans.
Dougie Maclean lives and works in and around the Scottish town of Dunkeld in Perthshire where popular music bar 'The Taybank Hotel' used to be known as Macleans Music Bar and is still a popular venue for folk music enthusiasts with much maclean related ephemera adorning the walls.
