Alistair Stuart MacLean (Scottish Gaelic: Alasdair MacGill-Eain; 21 April 1922 – 2 February 1987) was a Scottish novelist who wrote popular thrillers and adventure stories. His works include The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra and Where Eagles Dare – all three were made into popular films. He also wrote two novels under the pseudonym Ian Stuart.
MacLean was the son of a Church of Scotland minister and learned English as a second language after his mother tongue, Scottish Gaelic. He was born in Glasgow but spent much of his childhood and youth in Daviot, ten miles south of Inverness. He was the third of four sons.
He joined the Royal Navy in 1941, serving in World War II with the ranks of Ordinary Seaman, Able Seaman, and Leading Torpedo Operator. He was first assigned to PS Bournemouth Queen, a converted excursion ship fitted for anti-aircraft guns, on duty off the coasts of England and Scotland. Beginning in 1943, he served on HMS Royalist, a Dido-class light cruiser. There he saw action in 1943 in the Atlantic theatre, on two Arctic convoys and escorting carrier groups in operations against Tirpitz and other targets off the Norwegian coast. In 1944 he and the ship served in the Mediterranean theatre, as part of the invasion of southern France and in both helping to sink blockade runners off Crete and bombard Milos in the Aegean. During this time MacLean may have been injured in a gunnery practice accident. In 1945, in the Far East theatre, MacLean and Royalist saw action escorting carrier groups in operations against Japanese targets in Burma, Malaya, and Sumatra. (MacLean's late-in-life claims that he was captured by the Japanese and tortured have been dismissed by both his son and his biographer as drunken ravings.) After the Japanese surrender, Royalist helped evacuate liberated POWs from Changi Prison in Singapore.

In 1982, Stuart made his debut for Dorset in the 1982 Minor Counties Championship against Devon. From 1982 to 1989, Stuart played 39 Minor County matches for Dorset, with his final match for the county coming against Buckinghamshire in the 1989 Minor Counties Championship which ended in a draw.
In 1987, Stuart made his List-A debut for Dorset against Hampshire in the 1st round of the 1987 NatWest Trophy. Ten years after playing his last Minor Counties Championship match for Dorset, Stuart played his second and final List-A match for Dorset against Scotland in the 2nd round of the 1999 NatWest Trophy.
Oh Europe, high in honour, sacred
lands of faithfulness
? in the east and in the west
You stand as your mountains, steadfast, gainst enemies strong and cruel
Like the eagle high in the sky, will not bow to alien rule
(chorus)
Oh Europe hold out, don't give in now
Oh Europe no surrender, that would be a sin, sin, sin
Think back to your forefathers,
think back upon great times
European courage, victory,? in every fight
? stand together, shield our nations from any harm
Where the beast of war engulfs us, hold out in the rage of the storm
(chorus)
If the White man's gods protect
us, Europeans must stay free
Never shield our nations' beauty, from our foes and enemies
To our Europe's land, protection; at the ready, Europe's men
We defy our foes and traitors, self-defence is no offence
From our moors, and lakes and mountains, we will fight save our lands
European strength and spirit, will be wielded in our hands
