'Donald Gunn J. P. 1832 - 1901: from BrawlBIN, Caithness, Scotland to Ballarat, Victoria, Australia' - a new book on a (Clan) 'Gunn Chief' descendant
I have just written a book about my great great grandfather. It is called Donald Gunn J. P. 1832 - 1901: from Brawlbin, Caithness, Scotland to Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. The two significant points about him are that firstly he was a direct descendant of 'Chief of the Clan Gunn' Donald Crotach Gunn. Donald Crotach Gunn was Great Great Great Grandfather of this Donald Gunn.
The idea that the 'Clan Gunn Chief' line died out is wrong, but was assumed to be true for the invention of a Clan Gunn Chief in 2015. That invention is also highly legally questionable - the supreme court of Scotland - the Court of Session - has ruled that Lord Lyon does not have the power to make such a ruling. The second significant point about Donald was that he was father of J. A. Gunn who invented an anthrax vaccine suitable for Australian conditions and so saved the Australian livestock industry. J.A. Gunn's work deserves to be better known.
The book will be found at Lulu and on eBay, see -
