Shelagh McDonald is a Scottish singer-songwriter known for her ethereal voice and intricately arranged folk compositions. Emerging in the early 1970s, she released two acclaimed albums—*Album* (1970) and *Stargazer* (1971)—that earned her comparisons to artists such as Sandy Denny and Nick Drake. After a long absence from the public eye, she resurfaced in the 2000s, rekindling interest in her haunting melodies and poetic songwriting. McDonald's work remains revered for its emotional depth, delicate guitar work, and timeless contribution to British folk music.
