Scotland and Beyond; the Families of Donald Gunn (Tormsdale) and John Gunn (Dalnaha, Strathmore and Braehour)

By: Alastair Gunn,Donald Gunn

This book examines two linked Caithness Gunn families over many generations in places such as Scotland, Canada, Jamaica and Australia. It has many family trees, photographs and original documents including details of trips to Canada in the 1840s and Australia in the 1850s. Many letters from the mid 1800s are included. The book has many biographies including the Hon. Donald Gunn of Canada, William Gunn of Waranga Park, Sir John Gunn of Tormsdale and the Hon. John Alexander Gunn of New South Wales ('anthrax' Gunn). This book contains much original information showing how Gunns integrated into new lands. This work has taken many years and builds on documents held within the family and much detailed genealogical research. Two versions are available; a paperback black and white version and a deluxe hardback version with some colour photographs. The information and images are the same in both texts.

The Hurtigruten Coastal Shipping Service of Norway- An 'Open Class'postal history exhibit

By: Jack A. Gunn,Alastair J. Gunn

This book is concerned with the Hurtigruten Coastal Shipping Service of Norway. It presents an 'Open Class' postal history exhibit which means a significant amount of non-philatelic material was allowed. Of course times change and much of the material in this book would also be suitable for the modern F.I.P. 'Postal History Class 2c'. It is a book designed for the person starting to exhibit in postal history or a person interested in the postal history of Norway (or Scandinavia).

The Edinburgh and District Penny Post

A Postal History Exhibit

By: Alastair J. Gunn,Jack A. Gunn

The Edinburgh and District Penny Post has basically been ignored in print since the work of Auckland and Bonar in 1972. This book provides a detailed, award winning exhibit showcasing this area of long ignored British / Scottish postal history; it is the example to go with the theory of the Auckland / Bonar text. This book is important for those wanting to know more about the Edinburgh and Distrct Penny Post and for those wishing to examine how an award winning exhibit is displayed.

By: Jack A. Gunn,Alastair J. Gunn

This book is concerned with an undervalued area of British postal history, namely the postal use of 'Postage Due' and 'To Pay' labels / stamps. It is also concerned with encouraging people to exhibit. Both these areas are increasingly being appreciated.

The Gunns; History, Myths and Genealogy

By: Alastair Gunn

Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the myths currently masquerading as 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. Gunns should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor. 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. Major detail on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important addition to Scottish Highland history.

Key Issues for a Clan Gunn History

From a Work in Progress

By: Alastair J. Gunn

This booklet is thoroughly grounded in academic research and radically challenges traditional Clan Gunn history. It is obviously not a full history; I am working on that. The traditional Gunn history includes descent from important people on the Orkney Islands (and so from the ancient Norwegian royal families), assorted Chiefs, a Gunn coroner / Crowner being important in Caithness in the early to mid 1400s, assorted Gunn / Keith battles and a couple of Gunn castles. The Gunns have a far simpler past than that which is currently claimed - for example, the Gunns do not have a 'Chief' link to the Orkney Islands and there were no Clan Gunn Chiefs. As said, this booklet provides a radical challenge to the traditional history of the Clan Gunn; check the sample pages.
