Best-selling Highlands musician Fergie MacDonald is to feature on a Scottish TV show tonight to discuss a book he has written.
Mr MacDonald, an accordionist known as “the ceilidh king”, has documented tales of his father John “Ton” MacDonald’s time serving in Gallipoli and the Somme as a member of the elite Lovat Scouts during the First World War.
He will appear on the Grand Tours of Scotland’s Lochs series tonight to discuss his father’s exploits.
Mr MacDonald will take host Paul Murton on an expedition along Loch Sheil, showing the BBC presenter the area in which his father used to stalk deer.
The book describes Ton’s experiences surviving some of bloodiest military confrontations in history.
It has been named The Moidart Sniper and tells the story of how he enrolled whilst underage, along with a number of friends from the area.
The men’s varied and extensive skill set – including their ability to stalk deer – was put to lethal use as Ton went onto become a Lovat Scout sharpshooter.
Mr MacDonald, who hails from Moidart, has previously said he is “delighted” his father’s story has been read and heard throughout the Highlands, adding that it was a “privilege to write it” alongside his friend Allan Henderson.
Paul Murton’s Grand Tours of Scotland’s Lochs will air tonight on BBC1 Scotland.
