Gunn Ancient Tartan Kilt
Clan Gunn traces its roots to Norse ancestry, descending from Gunni, a 12th-century warrior who settled in Caithness through marriage to Ragnhild, niece of the Earl of Orkney. His lineage connects to Viking adventurers and St. Ragnvald of Orkney. The Gunn clan name possibly derives from the Norse word for "war," reflecting their fierce Highland reputation.
The first recorded chief, George Gunn, served as coroner of Caithness in the 15th century, known as Am Braisdeach Mor for his large insignia brooch. The Gunns feuded with Clan Keith, notably leading to the tragic Battle of Champions, which deepened the clan rivalry.
In the 16th century, the Gunns supported Clan Sutherland and fought in key battles, including Allt Camhna and Leckmelm. During the 17th century, the clan strengthened ties with Clan Mackay through marriage. Sir William Gunn, of the Robson Gunns, rose to military rank in Sweden and the Holy Roman Empire, becoming a baron.
In 1745, the Gunn clan sided with the British Crown during the Jacobite rising, with Alexander Gunn leading an Independent Highland Company. Gunns later joined the 79th Cameron Highlanders during the Napoleonic Wars.
In 2015, Iain Gunn of Banniskirk was officially recognized as Chief of Clan Gunn, restoring leadership after 230 years. His son, John Gunn of Gunn, succeeded him in 2024. Clan Gunn remains active today with a strong global heritage presence.
The Gunn Ancient Tartan Kilt reflects the deep-rooted heritage of Clan Gunn, known for its Norse origins and Highland valor. Featuring softer, earthy tones of green, blue, and muted red, this tartan captures the natural beauty of the Scottish Highlands as it would have appeared centuries ago.
Worn with pride at Highland games, traditional gatherings, or formal occasions, this kilt honors the bravery and history of one of Scotland’s oldest clans. Its ancient color palette evokes authenticity and connection to ancestral lands.
