  Literary Encyclopedia: Douglas Young
Douglas Young as a personality was one of the most colourful and memorable figures of the twentieth-century Scottish Renaissance; as a poet and essayist his influence in promulgating and furthering its ideals is fundamental, and at first sight remarkably disproportionate to the relatively small bulk of his writings.
Young’s father was employed in India by a Dundee jute firm, and the child, whose mother had returned home on his father’s specific insistence that he should be born in Scotland, was taken to the family place of work soon after his birth.
Young’s activities as a leading member of the Scottish National Party (not then the established and respectable presence on the Scottish political scene that it has since become) had aroused the suspicious attentions of the Secret Service; and in 1942 he was put on trial and sentenced to a year’s imprisonment for refusing conscription.

 Douglas Young and Sorley MacLean
Young's translations vary in the extent to which he has departed from the suggestions of his originals; but even when the actual word-by-word equivalence is at its closest, the impression conveyed is clearly distinct from that of the Gaelic.
Young has on any showing, therefore, fulfilled the requirements of a poetic translation: Ye were the Dawn faithfully conveys the literal meaning of its original, and is worthy to stand on its own merits as a poem in Scots.
Young's more remarkable when we consider his fidelity not achievement is all the only to the sense but to the verse structure of his originals: the proud claim of the youthful James VI that he had rendered Du Bartas' Uranie into Scots with line-for-line exactitude7 could almost be matched by Young.
