Hector Macneill

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''.
