Màiri Mhòr nan Òran, Big Mary of the Songs
Mary MacPherson (c.1821 – 1898) was a Scottish poet and singer-song writer from the Isle of Skye who worked in Scottish Gaelic. Although she could read her own work when written she could not write it in Gaelic. She retained her songs and poems in her memory until others wrote them down for publication. She often referred to herself as Màiri Nighean Iain Bhàin (Mary, daughter of fair haired John), the name by which she would have been known in the Skye of her childhood.
