Neil Gunn

Died in 1973

Neil Gunn was born on 8 November 1891 at Dunbeath, a fishing village in Caithness, in the far north of Scotland; his father was the skipper of a herring boat. In 1910 he joined the Customs and Excise service, served in the Highlands, married Jessie Frew in 1921 and settled near Inverness, next to the distillery where he would spend sixteen years. A militant of the nascent Scottish National Party, he was one of the figures of the literary renaissance of the twenties and thirties. He died on 15 January 1973.
