>> Thanks to Karen for her suggestion of "the Highland Clearances" by >> Prebble and to Jean Whimp for her suggestion of the following: 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. I have the first at home, but not the second. It is a a pity that there is not more detailed info on in the Clearances as they affected Mull. It also seems like there is very little on the Free Church too. However, I will keep looking and will certainly follow up on these suggestions. Regards Libby McMillan
