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.
