Iain MacDonald has long been a highly regarded figure on the Highland and island music scene and internationally, as a piper, flautist and whistle player with Ossian, Battlefield, Wolfstone and other bands and as a much sought after producer and teacher.
A former musician-in-residence at the Gaelic college of Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on Skye, he is also a visiting tutor at the Royal Scottish Conservatoire, Limerick University and the National Centre of Excellence in Traditional Music in Plockton. He now lives on Benbecula, where he teaches on the Gaelic Language and Music course at Colaisde Bheinn na Faoghla, the Benbecula campus of the University of the Highlands and islands’ Lews Castle College.
