While acknowledged as one of the greatest Gaelic prose writers, Tormod Caimbeul is virtually unknown outside Gaelic Scotland, a situation caused by the fact that none of his works have been translated into English or any other language so far, and even in his own tradition, he has received very little critical attention. This article focuses on his last published novel An Druim bho Thuath (The North Ridge, 2011), and discusses it in relation to his previous two novels, all of which present a highly original vista of a specific version of Gaelic Scotland at a certain point in the twentieth century.
The article completes a triptych of the first dedicated studies of all three novels by Tormod Caimbeul.
