German
FrenchClan Gunn
The traditional origin of the Clan Gunn is that the progenitor of the clan was one Gunni who
came to Caithness at the end of the 12th century when his wife, Ragnhild, inherited the estates from her brother, Harald Maddadsson who was the Earl of Orkney. His wife
descended from St Ragnvald, who was the founder of the St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall, Orkney. Gunni, whose name meant war, was allegedly descended from Viking adventurers
and his grandfather was Sweyn who was killed in a raid on Dublin in 1171. Smibert however states that the Gunns were of Gaelic origin.
