"Kildonan 1886" is a painting by Scottish-born New Zealand artist James McLachlan Nairn (1859–1904), who was influential in the development of impressionist painting in New Zealand. The work, created in 1886, is notable for its depiction of the Kildonan region, which is part of the artist's ancestral homeland in Scotland. Nairn's painting captures the essence of the Scottish landscape with a particular focus on the atmospheric effects and the play of light, which were hallmarks of the impressionist movement.

James Nairn was educated at the Glasgow School of Art and later at the Académie Julian in Paris, where he was exposed to the works of the French Impressionists. This exposure had a profound impact on his style, leading him to adopt a looser brushwork and a brighter palette upon his return to Scotland and, subsequently, in his work in New Zealand. "Kildonan 1886" represents a fusion of these influences with the rugged beauty of the Scottish countryside.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it reflects Nairn's connection to his roots before his emigration to New Zealand in 1890. In New Zealand, Nairn became a central figure in the burgeoning art scene, promoting plein air painting and impressionist techniques. "Kildonan 1886" thus serves as a bridge between his Scottish heritage and his impact on New Zealand's art history.

As an important work in Nairn's oeuvre, "Kildonan 1886" is often discussed in studies of Scottish and New Zealand art history, and it is considered a valuable piece for understanding the transmission of impressionist ideas across different continents. The painting is also an example of the cultural exchange between Europe and the colonies during the late 19th century, illustrating how artistic movements were adapted and transformed in new environments.
