Dougie has released five albums since 1981 and his tracks have been adapted by many artists over the years, most notably by composer Trevor Jones, making MacLean’s The Gael the main theme song for the 1992 film The Last of the Mohicans. One of MacLean’s most iconic recordings is the much-loved Caledonia – one of the most rousing songs in the Scottish canon.
