Clan Gunn or Gunn Clan

TESTIMONIAL

Thank you Amanda Shade for writing...

Hi, I am writing a historical romance novel based in the 17th century. I am descended from Clan Gunn through my mother's family (she is out of Gunn and Crawford clans)... This site was really very helpful in finding out who my ancestors really were. I found it so interesting that I have re-written my book to base it on the history of the Gunns. My main herione is now a re-written Gunn. Thanks you so much for putting all this together! It really was such an amazing learning experience and has made me feel closer to my strong Scottish heritage.

Check out the extensive guestbook collection where you will find an abundance of kindreds all tracing their scottish genealogy and ancestry by surname and genetic roots. Could you be one of their lost lost relatives?

The Clan Gunn motto

Either Peace or War

Clan Gunn is one of the oldest and most northerly clans in Scotland. The Gunns once held extensive territory in Caithness, NWSutherland and SESutherland. They were a Norse family claiming descent from Olaf the Black and were noted for their ferocious and war-like character; their name comes from the Norse gunnr, meaning war. They were constantly warring with their Keith and Mackay neighbours, or so the story goes!
