About the artist

Hamish Scott Henderson, (Scottish Gaelic: Seamas MacEanraig (Seamas Mòr), 11 November 1919 – 8 March 2002) was a Scottish poet, songwriter, soldier and intellectual. He has been referred to as the most important Scots poet since Robert Burns and was a catalyst for the folk revival in Scotland. He was also an accomplished folk song collector and discovered such notable performers as Jeannie Robertson, Flora MacNeil and Calum Johnston. Born illegitimately in Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Henderson eventually moved to England with his mother.
