It would be really interesting to find out some answers. Oh to find a diary written by a family member! But that won't happen because I know they couldn't read or write! So back to the guessing game!

Hi, Most emigrated from Tobermory, Calgary or Oban. Some vessels started from these ports. Some started further north and then sailed south. These vessels would have had emigrants from Coll and Tiree. Others emigrating started their sea passage from Glasgow, Liverpool and some other ports which now includes Plymouth.
