Rory MacDonald is the bassist player for the Scottish folk rock band Runrig, as well as the primary songwriter with his younger brother, Calum MacDonald. Rory tends to write the melody, and Calum the lyrics. Since former lead singer Donnie Munro left the band in 1997, Rory has taken lead vocal duties on songs in the band's catalogue written in the Scots Gaelic language, as the band's new lead singer, Bruce Guthro, is not a Gaelic speaker.
