  • Neil Miller Gunn (geboren am 8. November 1891 in ; gestorben am 15. Januar 1973 in Inverness) war ein erfolgreicher schottischer Romanautor, Kritiker und Dramatiker, welcher als einer der führenden Köpfe der „Schottischen Renaissance“ der 1920er und 1930er Jahre bekannt wurde. Aufgrund seiner über zwanzig Romane, war Gunn einer der einflussreichsten schottischen Romanautoren in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Roman Highland River wurde 1938 mit dem James Tait Black Memorial Prize ausgezeichnet. Wie sein Zeitgenosse Hugh MacDiarmid war Gunn politisch für die Ideale des Schottischen Nationalismus und Sozialismus engagiert. Seine fiktionalen Geschichten handeln in erster Linie von den Highlands-Gemeinschaften und der Landschaft seiner Jugend. Obwohl er ausschließlich englisch schrieb – statt in Scots oder in Gälischer Sprache –, sind Einflüsse auch der schottischen Sprachen nachweisbar. (de)

With over twenty novels to his credit, Gunn was arguably the most influential Scottish fiction writer of the first half of the 20th century (with the possible exception of Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell). Like his contemporary, Hugh MacDiarmid, Gunn was politically committed to the ideals of both Scottish nationalism and socialism (a difficult balance to maintain for a writer of his time). His fiction deals primarily with the Highland communities and landscapes of his youth, though the author chose (contra MacDiarmid and his followers) to write almost exclusively in English rather than Scots or Gaelic but was heavily influenced in his writing style by the language.
