Overall: Known as "Fair-haired Duncan of the Songs," MacIntyre started writing poetry/songs early on (although there are claims he was illiterate and his work was written down by Donald MacNicol, minister of Lismore), was influenced strongly by Alexander MacDonald; most of his poetry/songs describes rural life in the 1740s-1760s or are encomiastics for the Campbells. His work has been described as aware and lamenting of the gradual change of the rural landscape in the face of farmers and economic pressures.
