A promise of peace becomes a deadly trap. A woman crosses an ocean under a borrowed name. A wartime prisoner risks everything for freedom. Across the centuries, the stories associated with Clan Gunn reveal far more than battles and bloodlines. They reveal the people, legends and defining moments that give a Scottish clan its enduring identity.

Stories From Clan Gunn: 15 Tales That Shaped the Gunns and Scotland by Bagtown Clans takes you from the windswept shores of Caithness and the Viking sea-roads of Orkney to European battlefields, North American fur-trade routes and the tunnels of the Great Escape. Through atmospheric storytelling, historical episodes and traditional retellings, this illustrated collection explores a heritage shaped by courage, betrayal, loss and the determination to carry on.
