He is best known for his 1938 book Cronan nan Tonn (The Croon of the Sea).[1] The Royal National Mòd[2] has an annual prize, the Duncan Johnston Trophy, named after him. Johnston, along with Charles MacNiven (1874–1944), Duncan MacNiven (1880–1955), and William Livingston (1808–1870), is one of the Islay Bards.[3]
