The Sinclair Lineage As you will already know I am sure, the name CLYNE is a sept of the Clan Sinclair and clan septs were of two classes: clansmen of the clan who were related by blood and formed separate branches, and individuals and groups who sought and obtained the protection of the clan chief. It was this William Sinclair who married the daughter of Malise II, the 'jarl’ of Orkney, which resulted in the 'jarldom' of Orkney eventually coming to the Sinclairs of Rosslyn. Although Caithness became the stronghold of the Sinclair family, it was Rosslyn that was the cradle of the family in Scotland. sinclair.quarterman.org /ian.html   (2296 words)

Clan Gunn Their genealogist, John Olin, also collaborated with the late Sinclair genealogist, Pete Cummings, in putting on the web Pete's newsletters about the 600th anniversary celebration of that voyage; see also the local version of that newsletter. Associated with the Sinclair family for generations, and prominent among those who accompanied Prince Henry on his voyage to America, were members of Clann Gunn. Clan Gunn is naturally particularly interested in the Westford Knight, which is an effigy the expedition chiseled on a stone near Westford, Massachusetts, because it was apparently a grave marker for a Gunn knight. sinclair.quarterman.org /gunn.html   (121 words)

Clan Gunn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Often, it is claimed that the knight is Sir James Gunn, who reportedly traveled with Sinclair. Unlike many highland clans, the Gunns did not rise behind the standard of the Stuarts during the Jacobite rebellions, and indeed fought on the side of the government in the conflict of 1745. The clan's origins stretch over the sea to Norway, and they claim descent from the legendary Sweyn Asleifsson, the so-called 'Ultimate Viking', the progenitor of the clan, and through his grandson Gunni, considered to be the "namefather" of Clan Gunn. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Clan_Gunn   (2167 words)

Rollo the Viking The Sinclairs of Caithness are thus a Highland Clan just as much as the Sutherlands, Gunns and Macleods are Highland Clans; but they are not Celts to the same extent. William Sinclair, second Earl of Caithness and progenitor of the Sinclairs of Caithness, was also the son a Celtic mother. Before a Sinclair, a Macleod or a Gunn talks about his Scandinavian origins, it would be wise for him to calculate with some degree of care to what extent his blood is Scandinavian blood. sinclair2.quarterman.org /who/rollo.html   (1040 words)

Clan SINCLAIR SINCLAIR: The name derives from Saint-Clair-sur-Elle in Normandy, from where their ancestors came to Scotland and were granted the lands of Herdmanston in East Lothian in 1162, and later, in another line, the Barony of Roslin, near Edinburgh, in 1280. Sinclair of Keiss, as heir-male, contested the claim and, with 'official approval', mounted an armed invasion of Caithness. The enterprise was short-lived, most of the natives of the islands remained loyal to James V., and, led by James Sinclair, the governor, they put to sea, and in a naval battle defeated and slew the Earl with 500 of his followers, making prisoners of the rest. www.electricscotland.com /webclans/stoz/sinclai2.html   (1040 words)
