A novel set in a Highland shooting lodge, where the focus is a hunt in a remote deer forest; but this is no ordinary thriller. A shooting lodge party of wealthy English people, a team of Highland stalkers, a legendary stag to be hunted are set against a background of glen and corrie, shrouded from time to time by impenetrable mist. A blend of ever-changing landscape - be it light and shadow, swift transitions from light to half light, mist, rain, tones and flowing lines - contribute to the dramatic essence of the novel. Culture and personality clashes and mystery, which portend much deeper clashes between spiritual and material values, provide a stimulating and vastly enjoyable read.
Second sight is not the most ''Highland'' of Gunn''s many novels in terms of writing from the ''inside'' or ''within''; it gives, however, a Highland landscape a symbolic significance and sets the perceptive reader off on a hunt for renewed vision.
