Tour Scotland photograph of the Garth Thomas Fraser Clunie gravestone in the churchyard cemetery in Collessie, Fife, Scotland. In ever loving memory of our dear wee son Garth Thomas Fraser Clunie, who went to Jesus, 26th August, 1957, aged 4. Always in our hearts.
This interesting name is Scottish in origin, and is a locational surname deriving from the place called " Clunie " in the old district of Stormont, in Perthshire. One William de Cluny of Perthshire rendered homage to Edward 1 of England in 1296, and another William de Cluny, of Brechin, also rendered homage in that year and is recorded again in 1305 as Sir William de Clony, chaplain to the bishop of Brechin. One John Clunie or Clunnie was charged with " tumult " in 1686. Other old forms of the name are Clenye, Cloonie, Clwny, and Clyye, while the modern surname can be found as Clunie and Chiny. The marriage of James Clunie and Bessie Sandie was recorded in Errol, Perthshire, on July 28th 1648.
