- Father Allan MacDonald (Scottish Gaelic Maighstir Ailein, An t-Athair Ailean Dòmhnallach) (25 October 1859, Fort William, Scotland – 8 October 1905, Eriskay) was a Roman Catholic priest, poet, folklorist, and activist against religious discrimination from the Scottish Gàidhealtachd. Since his death, the sources of every hymn in the priest-poet's 1893 Gaelic hymnal and the degree to which Fr. MacDonald's folklore and folksong research was plagiarized during his lifetime by other writers has been meticulously documented by John Lorne Campbell. Furthermore, Ronald Black praised Fr. MacDonald in 2002 as, "a huge literary talent", Black has also written that Fr. MacDonald's prophetic poem Ceum nam Mìltean ("The March of Thousands") deserves to be, "first in any anthology of the poetry of the First World War", and, "would not have been in any way out of place, with regard to style or substance", in Sorley MacLean's groundbreaking 1943 Symbolist poetry collection Dàin do Eimhir. Black concluded by commenting that had Fr. Allan MacDonald not died prematurely at the age of only 45, "then the map of Gaelic literature in the twentieth century might have looked very different."
