Hector Macneill

Hector Macneill (22 October 1746 – 15 March 1818) was a Scottish poet born near Roslin, Midlothian, Scotland. Macneill had been the son of a poor army captain and went to work as a clerk in 1760 at the age of fourteen. Soon, he was sent to the West Indies and served as assistant secretary from 1780 to 1786.

After he returned to Scotland, he wrote various political pamphlets, two novels, and several poems, ''The Harp'' (1789), ''The Carse of Forth'', and ''Scotland's Skaith'', the last against drunkenness, but is best known for his songs, such as ''My Love's in Germany'' (''My Luve's in Germanie'') ''My Boy Tammy'', ''I lo'ed ne'er a Laddie but ane'', and ''Come under my Plaidie''.

Hector Macneill died in Edinburgh in 1818. Provided by Wikipedia
