Download or read book THE 1806 VOYAGE OF THE SPENCER: written by HECTOR JOHN MUNN and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1806 the vessel the Spencer left Oban, Scotland headed for Canada to pick up a load of lumber. But first it came to anchor off the island of Colonsay and took aboard 115 Gaelic speaking emigrants and their baggage. They were going to Prince Edward Island where Lord Selkirk had promised them land to be bought outright or on contract. The passengers were related in some way to two family heads named McNeill and McMillan. For example 20 year old James Munn had just married Elizabeth McMillan and their siblings James McMillan and Ann Munn would be married as soon as they reached PEI. Why these couples and their other family members wanted to leave Colonsay is the story told here. Events of Scottish history may have made it necessary to emigrate at that time and we speculate as to how it was financially possible. The McMillans and the Munns would fit with prior Selkirk Settlers by taking up property as neighbors in Belle River and Wood Islands where they would raise double cousin children, start a school, start a church and begin businesses and farms. Eventually, after two generations at Belle River, circumstances urged grandson James H. Munn to migrant to western Canada and on to the Washington Territory where homestead land was available to hardened pioneers. The story is only one many that track the western migration from Europe to the Americas.

Download or read book The Island Nurse written by Mary J. MacLeod and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life on the remote island of Papavray in the 1970s was a world away from Mary J. MacLeod’s urban existence in the south of England. And this peaceful environment was just what she was looking for. While indoor toilets were still something of a luxury, and ‘teleeffissions’ could produce terror in some of the older residents, the glory of the mountains and the sea combined with the warmth of the island people meant she had found a haven for her family. Mary’s post as district nurse gave her a unique insight into island life, and her stories of the troubles, joys, drama and comedies endured by her patients make this a charming and humorous account of community life on a small island in a bygone era.

Download or read book The Potter's Tale written by Dion Alexander and published by Birlinn Ltd. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Potter's Tale is a story of one man's journey of discovery and self discovery on one of the most beautiful islands on the Hebrides – Colonsay. Dion Alexander was 'the Colonsay Potter' through the 1970s and his own story is interwoven with that of some of the legendary characters of the islands in that period, one of the last in which Gaelic came naturally to the community. It is also the story of beginning to think about how to keep a small remote community dominated by a landed estate alive and viable in the face of modern pressures. The Colonsay of the 1970s had no electricity or affordable housing and an erratic ferry service. The book is an autobiography, a reflection of a world still close in time but in some ways very distant interwoven with much of history, tradition and folklore, and a moving account of the trials, triumphs and tribulations of a small community. Above all it is woven with a deep love of the magical place that is Colonsay.

Download or read book Argyll and the Islands written by Alan McKirdy and published by Birlinn. This book was released on 2017 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Argyll and the islands that lie off from the west coast of the Kintyre are some of the most historically resonant places in Scotland. But the rocks beneath tell a story of an even more ancient world that stretches back billions of years. In this book Alan McKirdy explains how much of the ancient bedrock of the area was created from a once-towering mountain; how granites were formed deep in the Earth's crust as a result of the white heat of collision; how volcanoes left an indelible print on the landscape; how coal swamps briefly covered the land, only to be succeeded by desert sands; and how glaciers shaped the landscape into the familiar mountains and glens we see today.

Download or read book Islay written by David Caldwell and published by Birlinn Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the history of Islay up to the present day with a particular focus on the people of the island. Islay was originally part of Dal Riata, the early kingdom of the Scots, but was then colonized by Scandinavian settlers in the ninth century. It was also the home of the MacDonalds, who established the Lordship of the Isles during the Medieval Period and who mounted a challenge to the Stewart dynasty for control of Scotland. It also looks at the lesser folk, especially during the time of the Campbell lairds, from the early 17th century onwards. Archaeology combined with documentary research has helped to build up a picture of how the people of Islay lived, the way the land was farmed and the development of local industries, including the distilling of whisky.
