Evan MacColl
Evan MacColl (Eoghann MacColl; 1808–1898) was a Scots-Canadian Gaelic poet who also produced poems in English. He was known as the Clarsair-nam-beann (literally the "Harper of the Mountains") or the Mountain Minstrel. Later he became known as "the Gaelic Bard of Canada".〔(Dictionary of Canadian Biography online 1891–1900 (Volume XII) ) Retrieved 5 November 2011〕
== Early life ==
Evan MacColl was born at Kenmore on the banks of Loch Fyne, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, on 21 September 1808. His father was Dugald MacColl who was possessed of "the richest store of Celtic song of any man living in his part of the country."〔Alexander Mackenzie, 'Evan MacColl – the Bard of Loch Fyne', in ''The Celtic Magazine'', Inverness: A & W Mackenzie, 1881, Volume VI, p.54. This is a three part biography: (1) No. LXII, December 1880, pp,. 54–58; (2) No. LXIII, January 1881, pp. 95–103; (3) No. LXIV, February 1881, pp. 139–145 (an extract from MacColl's diary for 1838–39 of a tour of the Highlands).〕 His mother, Mary Cameron, "was noted for her storehouse of traditional tales, legendary and fairy tales." She was also said to be something of an 'improvisatrice' or maker-up of tales.〔 Though MacColl was fully employed farming and fishing, and later with road repairs, he nevertheless received a fair education. His father was fond of literature and procured books for his children when he could. Since the local village school offered a very poor education, his father employed a tutor who taught his son English and instilled in him a love of Burns and of English literature in general. He thus began his poetic efforts in boyhood.〔
