Recorded:
June 2005
Location:
Donnie "Dougald" MacDonald's house (for his 70th birthday)
 Sadly Donald Angus "Donnie"
MacDonald passed away on April 23, 2007. Donnie was a
well-known fiddler and tradition bearer, who played for many
family and friends at weddings, dances and ceilidhs over the
years.
He was a proud member of the Cape Breton Fiddlers
Association since its formation and of St. Mary of the
Angels Parish in Glendale. He retired from the Georgia
Pacific Gypsum Company in Sugar Camp, yet remained active,
tending to the family homestead in Queensville, until his
death.
Donnie was a man who was greatly loved by young and old, he
has left us with a legacy of culture, fond memories, and our
cherished "Donnie Dougald stories"; he is greatly missed by
all.
