Gurro borders the municipalities of Cavaglio-Spoccia, Cursolo-Orasso, Falmenta and Miazzina.
Gurro is said to be populated by the descendents of Scottish soldiers. According to local legend, Scottish soldiers fleeing the Battle of Pavia arrived in the area where severe blizzards forced many, if not all, to give up their travels and settle in the town. To this day Gurro is proud of its Scottish links. Many residents claim their surnames are Italian translations of Scottish surnames, and the town also has a Scottish museum.
