The setting of Priest Island is an island to which a young man has been banished for stealing sheep, an exile which drives him into himself and finally into an acceptance of his permanent exile. A monk who lived 300 years ago on the island is the banished man's spiritual companion and counselor who offers support as he works his way through despair into acceptance. Eilean a'Chleirich or Priest Island is the most remote of the Summer Isles off Wester Ross in the Western Highlands of Scotland. Watson visited it in the company of the naturalist Frank Fraser Darling who resided there from 1937.

2 12 y separately published work icon The Nun and the Bandit E. L. Grant Watson , London : Cresset Press , 1935 Z36570 1935 single work novel E. Morris Miller's Australian Literature from its Beginnings to 1935 (1940): 729 comments: 'His latest book, The Nun and the Bandit, 1935, descends close to melodrama, but the sensationalism is restrained by the objectivity of the language. The bandit, escaping from a murder, kidnaps a girl and takes her with a sister (the novice), to the sparse desert region of Western Australia, where his redemption is fulfilled. The characters are related symbolically to their environment.'
