Mac-Talla (Scottish Gaelic for "echo") was a Scottish Gaelic 'supergroup' formed in 1992 at the suggestion of record label owner Robin Morton that brought together some of those responsible for bringing Gaelic music to wider public attention. The group comprised three singers: Eilidh Mackenzie (a recipient of the An Comunn Gàidhealach Gold Medal), Christine Primrose, and Arthur Cormack; plus harpist and cellist Alison Kinnaird (also Morton's spouse), and keyboardist Blair Douglas (formerly of Runrig).

Their only album, Mairidh Gaol is Ceòl (there is a Gaelic proverb, Thig crìoch air an t-saoghal / Ach mairidh gaol is ceòl, "The world will come to an end / But love and music will endure"), was released in 1994 by Morton's Temple Records.
