Does anyone know if there exist any church records for the area of Morven before 1803? I am lead to believe that there might be 2 books that might help a bit, at least in giving some context: Morvern - A Highland parish, by Norman Macleod and Morvern Transformed - A Highland Parish in the 19th century by Phillip Gaskell. Does anyone have a copy of these and if so, I would be really grateful if they could tell me if there is any mention of the Campbells of Barr or the area of Barr in Morvern, or Mungostle, and anything else that rings bells in terms of the cutting? Best Wishes Duncan Duncan & Pam McMillan

There is a limited preview of this in google books Ebay is also a great way to find old books - you can set up a search which will email you if it comes iup regards Jill Bowis www.benderloch.org.uk/forum - Ardchattan Archive : - history, geology, ecology, genealogy, weather, webcam, local forum www.kintaline.co.uk - where we are, what we do: Kintaline Plant and Poultry Centre www.lorn.org.uk Local Origins Rural Network - bringing local produce to the community
