    I fall under the 2nd category because I do not have a strong claim to any one clan. (Surname is Gunn but my Wilson is Swedish)(Colquhoun is the most ancient via the paternal rule, but that is on my mothers side and is several generations removed from Scotland) (other name and blood ties)

    I am going to probably do the dna testing to try to ascertain whether Gunn or Colquhoun would be more appropriate, and then get a really nice kilt in that tartan. Both of those societies said I am welcome.
    OK, so if your surname is Gunn, and the Gunn clan association says you're welcome, then I'm afraid I don't understand your dilemma. How is this not a "strong claim to any one clan"?

    I mean, if you want to choose to identify with another clan, that's your business, but I'm not sure why Gunn wouldn't be your default. Is it just that you don't like their tartan or something?
