Welcome to Donald MacDonald's Personal Home Page

Donald MacDonald lives in Stirling, Scotland. This Page deals with my personal interests:

Jazz - with HotLinks and an article on great South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim

Mountaineering - with articles, lots of new HotLinks and details of my climbing club, The Ochils Mountaineering Club.

The Ochils Mountaineering Club - caters for the Stirling and Central Scotland area

A Day in the Hills - fear and loathing on Beinn Udlaidh (an ice climb that went badly wrong)

On Our Doorsteps - an appreciation of Ben Lomond's fine North East Corrie in winter

Excuses - Meall nan Tarmachan and the lost new ice route

For articles on labour movement history, the technological threat to the jobs of communications workers, and details of the dispute in the Western Sahara between the POLISARIO liberation movement and Morocco, please try my "other" CWU Page.

Articles - on technological convergence, and the trade union response to the threat to jobs

Western Sahara Update - the history of the conflict, news reports, details of the Western Sahara Campaign (UK), as well as many useful HotLinks to related sites in several countries

The Multimedia Page is a resource for trades unionists, especially in the telecommunications and IT sectors (with loads of UK and international trade union, employer and government links)

As a telecommunications technician and an active trade unionist and socialist, I am currently Vice President of the Communication Workers Union of the UK, which represents a quarter of a million workers in the telecommunications and postal industries.

Finally, I live in Stirling and my local Euro MP, Alex Falconer (Member of the European Parliament for Central Scotland and Fife), is developing a page for his quarterly journal, The Citizen - Campaigning for Socialism. You can e-mail Alex at 104706.1600@compuserve.com.
