Dr James Hunter CBE (born 1948) is a historian of the Highlands and Islands. In 2005 he founded the Centre for History in Dornoch as part of the University of the Highlands and Islands, serving as the head of the Centre between 2005-2010.[1] Hunter has held a number of additional posts. Hunter was the director of the Scottish Crofters Union (1985-90), Chairman of the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust (2004-2007) and Chairman of Highlands and Islands Enterprise (1998-2004), the Inverness-based development and training agency for the North of Scotland.[2][3] He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2007.[4]

He is a freelance historian[5] and author, and has written thirteen books on the Highlands and Islands and its global diaspora.

His most recent book, Set Adrift Upon the World: The Sutherland Clearances, published in 2015, presents the struggle for survival of the people cleared from the straths of Sutherland during the early nineteenth century and relocated to Canada, landing at Hudson Bay.[6] This book was the winner of the Saltire Society's History Book of the Year Award in 2016.[7]

He gave the first Sabhal Mòr Lecture in 1990.
