and The North Wind' (Luath Press; 2010). His latest work is a collection of poetry, Aibisidh, published Polygon (Edinburgh) in 2011. It is nominated as the Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust's Scottish Book of the Year 2012, having won in the poetry category. Campbell writes frequently about the Catholic Church in his work. In a 2009 interview, however, Campbell described himself as a Christian socialist. Acting career In 2006, Campbell expanded his acting career, starring in the Scottish Gaelic feature film Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle. Although the film was warmly received and drew comparisons to both Big Fish and The Princess Bride, BAFTA refused to submit Seachd, the Welsh-language film Calon Gaeth, or any other British film, to compete for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2008 Academy Awards. Christopher Young, Seachd's producer, accused those responsible for the decision of being "anti-Gaelic" and resigned his BAFTA membership in protest. Questions about the controversy were also raised in the Scottish Parliament. Personal life He lives on the Isle of Skye with his wife and six children, and is now a full-time writer, journalist, broadcaster, actor. He is the father of piper Brìghde Chaimbeul.
