"Highland River" is a novel by Scottish author Neil M. Gunn, first published in 1937. The book is widely regarded as one of Gunn's finest works and a classic of Scottish literature. Set against the backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, the novel explores themes of nature, memory, and the passage of time through the life of its protagonist, Kenn.

The narrative structure of "Highland River" is non-linear, weaving together Kenn's childhood experiences with his adult life. As a boy, Kenn is deeply connected to the natural world around him, particularly the river that flows through his Highland village. This river becomes a central symbol in the novel, representing both the flow of time and the continuity of life. Gunn's evocative descriptions of the landscape and his deep understanding of the natural environment are hallmarks of his writing, and they lend the novel a rich, immersive quality.

As Kenn grows older, he leaves the Highlands to fight in World War I, an experience that profoundly affects him. The trauma of war and the loss of innocence are recurring motifs in the novel, juxtaposed against the idyllic memories of his youth. Upon returning home, Kenn embarks on a journey of self-discovery, seeking solace and meaning in the familiar landscapes of his childhood.

"Highland River" is also notable for its exploration of Scottish identity and the cultural changes facing the Highlands in the early 20th century. Gunn's portrayal of the tension between tradition and modernity reflects broader societal shifts and the impact of external forces on rural communities.

The novel received critical acclaim upon its release and has since been celebrated for its lyrical prose and profound insights into human nature. "Highland River" remains a significant work in Neil M. Gunn's oeuvre and continues to be studied and appreciated for its literary and cultural contributions.
