Gunn married Jessie Dallas Frew in 1921 and they settled in Inverness, near his permanent excise post at the Glen Mhor distillery. He would remain a customs officer throughout the First World War and until he was well established as a writer in 1937. In 1910 Gunn became a Customs and Excise Officer and was posted back to the Highlands. This led to a move to London, where the adolescent Gunn was exposed to both the exciting world of new political and philosophical ideas as well as to the seamier side of modern urban life. He continued his education there with tutors including the local schoolmaster, and the writer and poet J.G.Carter " Theodore Mayne".

Gunn had eight siblings, and when his primary schooling was completed in 1904, he moved south to live with his older sister Mary and her husband Dr. His mother would also provide Gunn with a crucial model for the types of steadfast, earthy, and tradition-bearing women that would populate many of his works. His father was the captain of a herring boat, and Gunn's fascination with the sea and the courage of fishermen can be traced directly back to his childhood memories of his father's work. Neil Miller Gunn was born in the village of Dunbeath, Caithness. His fiction deals primarily with the Highland communities and landscapes of his youth, : 325 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.

You can learn more about the Bloodhunt "open beta," including system requirements for the game, in the announcement on its Steam page.James Tait Black Memorial Prize for fiction Sharkmob said that there's no specified end date for the Bloodhunt open beta - which, to us, means that the game has effectively launched, especially if there's a functioning cash shop within it. In our initial coverage, we described Bloodhunt as a battle royale title that would "offer solo or team play as players take on each other and 'the hostile Entity who's hellbent on exterminating all vampires.' A wide range of powers and weapons will be available, and Sharkmob has confirmed that the game's action will take place in third-person." Our playtime in the previous closed alpha confirmed all these details, apart from team play, which is possibly an addition in this beta. That period will run for one week, until September 14, after which the servers will go down for about a day so they can be improved to handle whatever issues have cropped up. That will let the team pinpoint potential problems, now that there are no limits on how many people can play. The first phase of the test will involve "a bit of network testing," according to Sharkmob.
