This text provides a radical, academically based view of Clan Gunn history. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. They were not a clan at this stage as they did not have a founding ancestor. Gunns became a modern clan in 1803. The Gunn / Keith battles are myths, like so much other supposed Clan Gunn history. The first known Gunn was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450.

This text provides a radical, academically based view of Clan Gunn history. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. They were not a clan at this stage as they did not have a founding ancestor. Gunns became a modern clan in 1803. The Gunn / Keith battles are myths, like so much other supposed Clan Gunn history. The first known Gunn was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line (later called the Chief of the Clan Gunn line). Gunns from the Chief of the Clan Gunn line have existed all around the world and the genealogy is explored in this book. The crucial line is from Margaret Gunn who was a daughter of Chief Donald Crotach Gunn, she married John Gunn. This is the ongoing traditional Clan Gunn Chief line - the author is one of them. The idea that the Chief line was extinct is one of the many errors involved in the 2015 invention of a Clan Gunn Chief as is discussed in this text. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history. Further Gunn information can be found at - clangunn1.blogspot.com and facebook.com/ClanGunn1
