Rory MacDonald (born 27 July 1949, Dornoch, Sutherland [http://imdb.com/name/nm0531904/] ) is the bass player for the Scottish folk-rock band Runrig, as well as the primary songwriter with his younger brother, Calum MacDonald. Since former lead singer Donnie Munro left the band in 1997, Rory MacDonald has taken lead vocal duties on songs in the band's catalogue written in the Scots Gaelic language, as the band's new lead singer, Bruce Guthro, is not a Gaelic speaker.

MacDonald previously attended the Glasgow School of Art and had a promising career as a graphic designer until Runrig went 'professional'.
