Angus MacQueen has returned as Priest of Bornish, a remote parish in the Hebridean island of his boyhood, South
Uist, lying west of the Scottish mainland. The power of the elements still shapes the day-today living of the islanders, and Celtic beliefs in the supernatural lie easily with devout
Catholicism. Absorbed in his wild environment, MacQueen is determined to pass on the riches of the Gaelic culture, its language, songs and stories, to a younger generation.
