I have placed a copy of 'Scotland and Beyond; the Families of Donald Gunn (Tormsdale) and John Gunn (Dalnaha, Strathmore and Braehour)' in the State Library of Victoria (Melbourne, Australia). Further copies are available at the National Library of Scotland, Timespan Museum Helmsdale and the Highland Archive Centre in Inverness.
The book includes much discussion of the Braehour line which is one of the many traditional 'Clan Gunn Chief' lines of descent and includes much of Canadian interest; for example the Hon. Donald Gunn 1797-1878 was a 'Braehour' Manitoba politician and he had many descendants. For his biography see - http://clangunn.weebly.com/hon-donald-gunn-canada-1797-1878.html. I note Mr Iain Gunn of Banniskirk used his Braehour descent as a key part of his early 1980s claim to be 'Chief of the Clan Gunn'.
