High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rob Donn (Brown haired Rob) was a Scottish Gaelic poet from Sutherland. It is generally assumed that his surname was MacKay (MacAoidh), but this has been disputed, so he is sometimes referred to as "Rob Donn MacAoidh". Born in Strathmore, Sutherland, he never learnt to speak English, nor to read and write, but his poetical abilities were picked up early on by Iain MacEachainn, a tacksman who would patronise the former cowherd. In return, Rob Donn praised and delineated MacEachainn and his family in his poetry, in a way normally reserved for nobility in Scottish Gaelic poetry. Two other major figures in his life were the Rev. Murdo MacDonald, the local minister, and Donald MacKay, the fourth Lord Reay. Both were great influences on him, and celebrated in his poetry. Rob Donn's life coincided with the two major Jacobite campaigns, in 1715 (when he was only one) and in 1745.
