Description
Book Synopsis: REVISED JUNE 2023. Gunns are best thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern, mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns should not be viewed as a Clan as they had no founding ancestor and there was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief.' The first Gunn known to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many descendants from that line exist all around the world. In other words, the MacHamish line is not extinct as some believe and significant detail on this MacHamish line is included in the text. For a more detailed version of Gunn history see my 'The Gunns: History, Myths and Genealogy'.
Details
The real history of (Clan) Gunn is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish ancestry and history. This revised edition, updated in June 2023, provides a comprehensive account of the Gunns, the original inhabitants of northern mainland Scotland. Unlike many other clans, the Gunns do not have an Orkney Islands origin, making their story even more unique and intriguing.
It is important to clarify that the Gunns should not be misunderstood as a traditional clan. With no founding ancestor and no historic 'Clan Gunn Chief,' their legacy holds a different level of significance. The first Gunn known to history, Coroner Gunn of Caithness, played a vital role in shaping the family's narrative before his passing around 1450.
The MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line, established by Coroner Gunn's eldest son, is a key focus in this book. Contrary to popular belief, the MacHamish line is not extinct, and this book sheds light on the far-reaching descendants from that lineage. For those seeking a deeper understanding of the MacHamish line, this text includes significant details that will captivate and enlighten.
