Scottish singer-songwriter and composer Dougie MacLean is set to return to Innerleithen's Memorial Hall later this year.

His solo performance titled 'Dougie MacLean – Celebrating 50 Years Of Music' on October 18 aims will celebrate his 50-year music career, showcasing the numerous songs that have led to his global recognition.

The performance in Innerleithen will be his first since 2012 and his only date in the Scottish Borders this year.

Tickets are available at www.dougiemaclean.com or in person at The Hub.

MacLean is known for songs such as 'Caledonia' and melody 'The Gael' and has performed in iconic venues globally, like London’s Festival Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and New York’s Carnegie Hall.

He is set to perform again at Carnegie Hall in April next year.

MacLean's songs have been covered by performers including Paolo Nutini, Amy MacDonald, and Ronan Keating, among others.

His popularity continues to grow due to weekly live online broadcasts that started from his Perthshire Old Schoolhouse during the 2020 lockdown, which have reached millions of viewers worldwide.

His 50th music-anniversary celebration has already seen MacLean successful with sold-out live performances in Glasgow, Perth, and Stornoway.

MacLean said: "I have always enjoyed playing in the Borders and am looking forward to getting back to the Memorial Hall for what I’m sure will be a special night of songs and tunes with friends old and new."

His career has garnered him three Tartan Clef Awards, a place in the Scottish Music Hall of Fame, a Lifetime Achievement Award from BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, an Honorary Doctorate, and an OBE.
