- undated — Gunn (Logan) (register-of-tartans, record)
Gunn tartan is represented here, having four black bands on a green background. Logan recorded the inner two bands as blue. Reproduction in print often obscures this difference. The Gunns, the MacKays and the Morrisons belong to the North of Scotland and Lewis. This regional grouping is reflected in the tartan designs. Recorded in the Lyon Court Books 1960 / Vestiarium Scoticum 1829-1842. - undated — Gunn (weddslist, record)
