Dear All, Can anyone provide some detail to the communication I received? Regards Bruce RE:Oak Island = GUNN Bruce, Thanx for the reply. A little more info to add to the pile. I've come to understand that the Sinclairs and Gunns were close, a family relationship would explain alot of that. Would that be a sister of Henry's who married a Gunn ??? I have also read that the Gunns were considered the "crowners" of Caithness (which is what the broach signifies) and the Sinclairs were unable to rule without their consent. Why this was so I have not been able to determine for sure. Speculation that Gunn was an ancient Pictish King, the original inhabitants of the land... or that a Gunn married a woman who was the daughter of the mormaer of Caithness. I haven't figured out what a mormaer is yet.... The Gunns were also possibly a sea-power to reckon with in that area.... So what I want to know is who or what gave them the position to determine who rules the lands of Caithness ??? I have been most interested in the Westford Knight long before I came to realize he was a Gunn clan member, as it was a piece of the puzzle of the POS and Templar mysteries. I am most interested to know if he was a Templar ??? Is the cloak Templar style ??? What says Templar about it ??? I have also noticed that at his neckline would appear to be a symbol of a dove, which I have come to understand is a symbol of the POS, or guardians of the Holy Grail. But I have read no mention of that in any articles of the Westford Knight. The recent find of the Gunn coat of arms on Oak Island has grabbed my attention though. Unlike the Westford Knight which would be a memorial to a fallen comrade, why was the Gunn coat of arms punch marked into the rocks and not Sinclairs', if it was his expedition ???
