Mary MacLeod was nurse to the chiefs of MacLeod during most of the 17th century. In her songs she draws freely on the bardic poetic tradition of her time: but she was one of the first Scottish Gaelic poets who used popular diction and versification in composing court poetry; and her work is supremely representative of the efflorescence of Scottish Gaelic vernacular poetry which occurred between 1560 and 1745.
