Here is a radical, academically based text which demolishes the
myths currently masquerading as Gunn 'history'. Gunns are best
thought of as the original, non-related inhabitants of northern,
mainland Scotland. They do not have an Orkney Islands origin. Gunns
should not be viewed as a clan as they had no founding ancestor.
There was never an historic 'Clan Gunn Chief'. The first Gunn known
to history was Coroner Gunn of Caithness who died around 1450. His
eldest son started the MacHamish Gunns of Killernan line - many
descendants from that line exist all around the world. Major detail
on this MacHamish line is included. This book is an important
addition to Scottish Highland history.

This book examines two linked Caithness Gunn families over many
generations in places such as Scotland, Canada, Jamaica and
Australia. It has many family trees, photographs and original
documents including details of trips to Canada in the 1840s and
Australia in the 1850s. Many letters from the mid 1800s are
included. The book has many biographies including the Hon. Donald
Gunn of Canada, William Gunn of Waranga Park, Sir John Gunn of
Tormsdale and the Hon. John Alexander Gunn of New South Wales
('anthrax' Gunn). This book contains much original information
showing how Gunns integrated into new lands. This work has taken
many years and builds on documents held within the family and much
detailed genealogical research. Two versions are available; a
paperback black and white version and a deluxe hardback version
with some colour photographs. The information and images are the
same in both texts.

A GRIPPING CRIME THRILLER FOR FANS OF KARIN SLAUGHTER, VAL MCDERMID
AND PETER MAY YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE A man is found buried
in a secluded wood on the outskirts of London. Naked, beaten and
bruised; forensics also show that he hasn't eaten in the 24 hours
before his murder. The hunt is on. As more bodies are unearthed in
the same state, DCI Antonia Hawkins struggles to find a pattern in
the seemingly random killings. But who is the hunter? Hawkins is
starting to believe that the victims have all been captured, kept
and hunted down like animals by a special kind of killer playing a
twisted game. And so far, the killer is the one winning . . .
