The book, The Hunters of Forfarshire 1528-1928, written by G. G. G. Hunter in 1928, was privately printed with about 128 numbered copies. In it are details of the history and genealogy of the Hunters of Burnside, Restenneth, Forfar, Balgay, Baldovie, Blackness and more. I have copied it here, as it was written, added parts and updated the genealogy using sources, not then available.
I have spread this over 12 web-pages, each page follows the other. If you are looking for a specific page I have listed them below.

There was no Hunter Clan attendance as seen by some Highland Clans who still supported the catholic religion. The Jacobites wanted the return of the Catholic King, which was not a view held in lowland Scotland. Culloden did not start as a national fight for survival and most Hunters were Protestant.
David Hunter, 7th Laird of Burnside, was our most noted contributor as Captain in the Prince‘s Life Guards.
