Duncan Ban MacIntyre (1724-1812) one of Scotlands greatest poets in the Gaelic tradition was born in the southern foothills of Stob Ghabhar at the croft of Druim Liaghart near Victoria Bridge. MacIntyre, whose birthplace is marked by a plinth, worked as a forester and gamekeeper in the area until 1767 when he moved to Edinburgh. Much of his poetry was concerned with the flora, fauna and mountains of the area.
