Interested to read that Mr Gunn of Banniskirk’s new coat of arms is decided and that the ‘supporters’ for it would be ‘a Norse warrior and a Pictish woman … representing our (Gunn) descent from Sweyne Asliefsson and the Pictish Mormaers of Caithness.’
There isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that Gunn origin is from Sweyne Asliefsson and the Pictish Mormaer descent is even more implausible so the ‘supporters’ sum up the fiction, and the ongoing farce, which some accept as Gunn history. For why the whole Gunn Orkney / Norse / Viking / Asliefsson origin is a load of utter tosh see http://clangunn.weebly.com/clan-gunn-has-no-orkney-origin.html The Pictish Mormaer (aristocracy) idea is so ludicrous I haven’t yet dealt with it here, sorry! I agree we descend from the Picts but it’s ‘normal Picts’ as Gunn origin is from a non-kindred tribe of early settlers of Sutherland / Strathnaver / Caithness.
