Annsachd nan Gàidheal a dh'fhaodadh a bhith na rionnag eadar-nàiseanta. Tha Tormod MacGill-Eain iomraiteach mar chleasaiche, seinneadair, sgrìobhaiche, pìobaire, alcolach. Tha fèin-eachdraidh Thormoid a-nis air nochdadh mar leabhar. Seo dealbh drùidhteach dhen duine fhèin agus an dà dhualchas Gàidhlig agus Beurla a th'air a bhith a strì an aghaidh a chèile, na chlaigeann agus na chridhe, fad a bheatha.
