Malcolm McDonald lived around Dunkeld in the 18th century and was a contemporary of Niel Gow. It is said he played the cello for Niel Gow after the death of Niel's brother. Little is known of his personal life and he left only his collection of music to represent his talent. Many of the tunes are said to be his own compositions but it is known that some, especially after the first volume, were composed by others. The four collections were originally only available as single volumes and as they were printed first in 1788 access to them has always been limited to libraries or private collections. Taigh na Teud has now made them available in one volume which contains over 130 fascinating tunes.
