    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] McInnes/Innes Re: History of Kintra
    2. Janet
    3. My McInnes family came from Cullen, Banff and took up the Inn at Tobermory. I traced them to Edinburgh before reaching Mull. Other than John McInnes had experience in 42nd Royal Highlanders I dont know why they went to Mull.
