In the article, it comments that the song "Gael" is his most famous piece... yet "Ready for the Storm" has been covered by far more artists and shown greater tenacity in the long run. To be honest, I've never even heard "Gael" till it was mentioned here in this article and I have roughly 5 of his CD's. Guess I'm missing that one? Nevertheless... I'd be interested in source material stating this song is his more famous piece overall... and not merely someone's opinion. — Preceding

I believe what's going on here is that "Gael" has been heard more than his other songs, due to the high exposure of the Mohicans version. It's not a song that most people associate with Dougie. On the other hand, "Caledonia" was well-known, and is now surely his most famous piece, thanks to the Scotland advert. "Ready for the Storm" is probably his second most covered song.

It's not famous because you never heard it? The film gave the song wide publication. The very fact that it was the centerpiece in a film that was commercially successful makes it the most famous song of his. Films provide a much greater audience than covers. Combine all the sales of covers of his songs and compare it with the ticket sales for the film and subsequent DVD release. And the film won the Academy Award for Best Sound too. — Preceding

The Gael
Somehow it is not of interest that "The Gael" and I quote the wiki: "MacLean's most famous pieces include "The Gael"" is a cover, but it may hurt some national pride. — Preceding

It's not a cover. In the film The Last of The Mohicans, there was an adaption of the original Dougie Maclean recording of 'The Gael' on his album 'The Search.' — Preceding
