Angus Peter Campbell

Angus Peter Campbell (Scottish Gaelic: Aonghas P(h)àdraig Caimbeul; born 1952) is a Scottish award-winning poet, novelist, journalist, broadcaster and actor. Campbell's works, which are written mainly in Scottish Gaelic, draw heavily upon both Hebridean mythology and folklore and the magic realism of recent Latin American literature. In an interview prior to his death, Sorley MacLean, who is, alongside Alasdair Mac Mhaighstir Alasdair, considered to be among the two greatest writers in the history of Scottish Gaelic literature, called Campbell one of the best living Scottish poets in any language.
