No problem buddy...
Another interesting note on the Sutherland's, Gunn's and MacKay's.. They were part of the northern Hanoverian force. The Northern force was not involved in the Battle of Culloden 1746, although they were dispatched to intercept the Jacobites.
There is a load of history between those above clan's, you'll find it very interesting. Hint, look into the Battle of Loch Broom circa 1586 and Altgowne circa 1585 or 1586. It has to do with the era where the name Gunn was outlawed by the Earl of Caithness. The Earl of Sutherland (was asked for help from the Earl of Caithness) was successful at Loch Broom where as the Gunn's were not. At Altgowne, the Gunn's and MacKay's joined forces and had a great victory together against the Earl of Caithness' forces ( I believe was comprised of Keith's and Sinclair's). The battle of Loch Broom is the later.
Enjoy,
Daniel
