The Clan Gunn is one of the oldest Scottish clans descended from the Norse Jarls of Orkney and the Pictish Mormaers of Caithness. The Clan was originally based on the east coast of Caithness, but from the fifteenth century the senior line settled in the Strath of Kildonan in north east Sutherland; the Robson Gunns had their seat in Braemore in south east Caithness and the third main family established themselves in Cattaig and Dalemore on the upper reaches of the River Thurso.

Today there are members of the Clan in the UK, Australia, Canada, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA and thriving Clan Gunn Societies in the UK, New Zealand , Nova Scotia and North America.
