Mull: The Island and Its People
By Jo Currie
The story of Mull has never been fully told. This book explores the
history of the island in the 18th and 19th centuries. Drawing on research in
the original correspondence of the principle families of the island -
Macleans and Maclaines - Jo Currie relates how shortage of money among
landowners, tacksmen, subtenants and cottars brought about confrontations
which resulted in the virtual disappearance of most of the native population
in a series of emigrations which were not always due to eviction.

Island voices By Ann MacKenzie
Island Voices is a fascinating anthology of the tales and traditions of
North Mull. The subjects throughout are timeless: local belief and
superstition, pastimes, work, health and cures, tales and proverbs. Taken
from a broad range of sources - both written and oral - it offers a
penetrating and insightful view of the island experience, from Martin Martin
in the seventeenth century to the end of the Second World War, a time which
saw huge changes in Gaelic society as a whole.
While many of the pieces show with devastating clarity how harsh island life
has been over the centuries, they also illustrate the sharpness of phrase,
shrewdness of observation and humour characteristic of the West Highlands
and Islands.
Island Voices is a celebration of a people who are often excluded from the
standard historical accounts of the clans and Highlands, but who have
endured much and safeguarded an important heritage.
ANN MACKENZIE was born in Argyll but has strong family connections to Mull,
Ulva and Lewis. After studying in Edinburgh, where she was involved in
museum, photographic archive work and research, she returned to Mull to work
on the Muile air Mheamhair oral history project.

The Isle of Iona: Sacred, Spectacular, Living (Island Tributes)
Trevor Croft (Foreword),
Alastair de Watteville
This is a very fine book and most beautifully illustrated with many colour
photographs, drawings, maps and diagrams. If you have visited Iona and would
like a memory this is ideal; if you have never visited then this will whet
your appetite. The text runs to some 20,000 words and covers the sacred
history and the people of the island both past and present, the wildlife,
surrounding area, and even touches on the geology. There does not seem to be
any aspect of the island and its life, which has been omitted. The text is
direct and very well written by someone who clearly loves the island and has
expressed that in research and much hard work to do justice to a very
special place to the Church in Britain.
