This is a particular problem with Scottish names because of the numerous times a name might have been loosely translated to English from Gaelic and back. Clunie has been spelled Clunie, Clooney, Cloon, Cloone, Clowney, Clune, Cluney, Clunis and many more. First found in Perthshire, where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
