_1031 Aos Dàna - ‘Gaelic poems in the Scots Tongue’ Angus Peter Campbell "Gaelic and Scots sit harmoniously in Angus Peter's new volume. In the 15th century, the two tongues were in bitter rivalry. The poet Dunbar conjures a picture of hell in his Dance of the Seven Deadly Sins. Finding it packed with ragged Gaels, the Devil calls for a Hieland pageant. The Highlanders deafen him with Gaelic, so he puts them in the deepest pit in hell and 'smoorits' them! After five centuries, a poetic reconciliation. Angus Peter is joined by the Scots translator, the scholar J Derrick McClure of Aberdeen University who will read Angus Peter's poems in Scots. Aonghas Padraig, a native of South Uist, was introduced to literature by his teacher, the late Ian Crichton Smith. Encouragement was also given by the late Sorley MacLean. A career in journalism followed. He is now a prominent writer and broadcaster. He is a longtime Skye resident and had an impressive debut in 2007, as lead actor, in Seachd, the first-ever Gaelic-language feature film."
