The Gunna Breac – Podcast Nine

Museum of the Isles

The Gunna Breac was a treasured possession of the MacDonalds of Dalchnosie originally dating to the late 17th/early 18th centuries. It was brought to the Battle of Culloden (1746) by Alexander MacDonald who fought with the Atholl Brigade.  A fabulous piece of Jacobite history for all Outlander fans!

  1. Fascinating to learn more of the Gunna Breac. Alexander MacDonald, who died at Culloden was my 6g-grandfather.
    Incidentally, I believe that Alastair MacDonald (d 1910) was Mc’Iain, not McLean as stated in the podcast, presumably named after his father John.
    Thanks!
