The Gunn Papers; 'The Northern Chronicle' 1.2.1911
This article is only of marginal relevance to Gunn; its focus is on  the Caithness Evictions in roughly 1590-1610. It points out the awkwardness of place names. Gunns seem not to be mentioned, but it's probably fair to assume such events (and people) impacted on them.
