Hello Elizabeth - I too am interested in the Mull Clearances. I see that Kim responded to you with a suggested book. I would also like to know its name if it is about the Clearances. I should say that I do have John Prebble's book The Highland Clearances, which is good, but not specifically about Mull. - Karen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Elizabeth McMillan" <libbymcm@tpg.com.au> To: <sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 1:56 PM Subject: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] McCormick (McMillan-McIntyre) connection > Hi Kim > > Thanks for looking up the book for me.

A key text on the clearances : Richards,Eric: "The Highland Clearances" Printed 2000 reprinted 2002 published by Birlinn (www.birlinn.co.uk) (UK 9.99 or USA $17.95) He happens to be a Professor here in S.Australia so there is much detail on lots places where there were significant clearances. It is much more detailed and exact than Prebble. However Mull does not rate a detailed mention.
