Gillebride Macmillan

Gillebride (pron. Gill-ah-BREEDGE-eh) is from South Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Gaelic is his first language and Gaelic songs and traditions were always an important part of family life.  He performs Gaelic song, and teaches Gaelic at university.  His recordings include both traditional songs and new ones he has composed, all in Gaelic.  He stars as Gwyllyn the Bard in the Starz production of “Outlander” where he regales those in Castle Leoch with traditional Gaelic songs and tales.

He toured with the band Blazin’ Fiddles for 15 years, is a teacher, composer, and tells entertaining historical stories about Gaelic culture.  He is a well-known part of the music scene in Scotland, as are his siblings, harper/pianist Ingrid, multi-instrumentalist Ewen (of Mànran) and fiddler Megan (of Breabach).
