Hector the Hero is a simple lament by famous fiddler James Scott Skinner. It is written in tribute to Major-General Hector MacDonald, also known as ‘Fighting Mac’. Famous for rising through the ranks of the British army on merit alone, MacDonald died by suicide following malicious allegations. This sad tune is a beautiful tribute.
