Timeline
Fionn Mac Colla (born Thomas Douglas MacDonald; 4 March 1906 – 20 July 1975) was a Scottish novelist closely connected to the Scottish Gaelic language and culture who campaigned for it to return to what he perceived to be its rightful place in the Scottish mainstream.
Mac Colla was born in Montrose to Donald and Jessie Macdonald (née Anderson Douglas).
His father was a native Gaelic speaker, and it is from his father that MacColla was made aware of the language as a young boy.
As a child, Mac Colla's family were Plymouth Brethren, although he converted to Roman Catholicism in later life.
After graduating first in the country for his teaching exams, Mac Colla was appointed headmaster of Laide Public school in Wester Ross at the age of 19.
The following year he left for Palestine to teach history for a school run by the United Free Church.
Mac Colla was a founding member of the National Party of Scotland from its birth in 1928.
He remained in Palestine for 3 years, before returning to Scotland permanently in 1929.
After nearly 20 years living in the Western Isles, Mac Colla returned to Edinburgh, where he died of heart failure in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on 20 July 1975.
Selections for Makars' Court are made by The Writers' Museum; The Saltire Society; The Scottish Poetry Library.
Some of his articles and other works can be found in contemporary magazines of Scotland such as Catalyst.
He was a close friend of the artist Edward Baird, also a member of the National Party of Scotland, who portrayed him, wearing a nationalist quasi-military uniform in Portrait of a Young Scotsman, acquired by the National Galleries of Scotland in 2011.
According to Martin Hopkinson, "It was James Whyte, a St Andrews-based American supporter of the Nationalists and patron of contemporary Scottish art and culture, who bought Baird's portrait of Mac Colla, a painting that has sadly disappeared."
His best known novels are The Albannach and And the Cock Crew.
And the Cock Crew takes its title from the gospel story of Peter the disciple who ended up denying and thus betraying Jesus.
The protagonist is a minister in a Highland parish, Sachari, whose congregation is being cleared.
The Albannach has a modern (20th century) setting, and makes wry comments on contemporary Gaelic, and general Scottish attitudes.
Fionn Mac Colla is commemorated in Makars' Court, outside The Writers' Museum, Lawnmarket, Edinburgh.
