A leech, a pirate, a predator, an anti-Christ, a public benefactor
and the fisherman's friend; such is Gillespie Strang in this
remarkably powerful Scottish novel. Gillespie is the harsh prophet
of the new breed of Scottish entrepreneur, prepared to use any
means to achieve his insatiable ambition amongst the
nineteenth-century fishing communities of the west coast. John
MacDougall Hay (1881-1919) was born and raised in Tarbert, Loch
Fyne, on which he based the setting for Gillespie. A Church of
Scotland minister, his knowledge of such communities and his sombre
vision of good and evil shape this, his finest novel.
