Ian - thanks for the reference to my book. It is "Pictou Island: Its History and Its People," published in 2009. I am glad to see that a copy made its way to Mull. A number of Mull and Tiree families settled on Pictou Island, Nova Scotia in the late 1810's and 1820s, including two sets of McCallums - my ancestors from Tiree (but from Mull one generation earlier), and a second family (probably cousins, but proven) direct from Mull (Kilninian & Kilmore) and Ulva. There were also McFarlanes and McDonalds from Mull on Pictou Island, as well as Pattersons and McLeans form Tiree. If anyone else is interested in the book, contact me privately. Thanks to all who responded regarding my spam problem.

I live in Britain (Tobermory, Isle of Mull for complete location) and find the stories about those who finished up in all corners of the world very interesting. I have just finished reading a book called 'Pictou : It's History and People' which goes into great detail about those who left Mull (and other places like Tiree), settled on Pictou Island and about the conditions they found there. OK I might be the exception to the rule but I don't think so. Next month I'm going to New Zealand and then Australia to see a number of the places which until now are just places on a map where settlers from Mull established themselves. A number of places in both countries are names after places on Mull. So please keep the settler stories coming.
