Шаблон:Use dmy dates Dorothy Brown (Scottish Gaelic: Diorbhail Nic a' Bhriuthainn; died 1644) was a Scottish Gaelic poet and songwriter who lived on the Isle of Luing in Argyll, Scotland.

Songwriting

She was a prolific songwriter, but only two of her songs survive:

  1. Alasdair a Laoigh mo chill ("Alasdair, love of my heart"), about Alasdair Mac Colla, a general in Montrose's army, which she wrote after seeing his ships pass through the sound of Luing on an expedition against the Cambpells.[1] The song is in the style of troubadour poetry, where the author is inspired to fall in love with a character based on tales of their reputation.[2]
  2. a lament of the duchess of Coll[3]

Death

Brown died in 1644 and is buried in the old churchyard in Luing.[4]
