Allan The Ridge MacDonald (1794 Allt an t-Srathain, Lochaber, Scotland - 1 April 1868 Antigonish County, Nova Scotia, Canada) was a Bard, Traditional singer, and Seanchaidh who emigrated from the Gàidhealtachd of Scotland to Nova Scotia in 1816. He continued to compose Gaelic poetry on his two separate homesteads in Canada and remains a highly important figure in both Scottish Gaelic literature and in that of Canadian Gaelic. He is also, along with John The Bard MacLean, one of only two 19th-century North American Gaelic poets from whom a sizeable repertoire survives.
