Walter Scott MacFarlane (1896–1979) was a Canadian soldier and bard who composed Christian poetry in Canadian Gaelic. He was known as the "Bard of Margaree."[1]
He was born near the
World Wars, including the Battle of Vimy Ridge
and this combined with his strong religious faith, is evident in much of his poetry. A collection of his work, entitled Songs of the Valley edited by Kay MacDonald and his son Pat MacFarlane was published in the 1980s.
Walter Scott MacFarlane was the grandfather of Canadian musicians Scott MacFarlane (Bassist - Sandbox, Crush, Kilt) and
Kris MacFarlane
(Drummer - Great Big Sea, Paperboys, Lennie Gallant).
