Records of the Mull and Morvern Agricultural Society. The

earliest programme dates from 1886 and is thought to be the

second, but the show appears to have grown from the markets

and fairs held in the middle of Mull from early times. There is

the site of an old fairground at NM 489454 (RCAHMS page 242.)

There is also an account of a show being held in 1846 (details of

prizes awarded see AGRICULTURE 03-007 and NISBET Letter of

26 October 1847. This may have been one of the District

competitions for improving the breed of livestock run by the

Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland. Shows for the Mull

District were reported in 1836-01-30, 1837-02-01 and 1844-02-

28 (See extracts in MUS LIB) but the society in its present form

appears to have started in the late 19thC, though there is a

report in the "Highlander" of an annual show in 1873 in Mull at

Salen [CURRIE 02-007/ 03]

Material pertaining to archaeological sites and excavations.

Mull has great archaeological riches and the Museum

celebrates this in a variety of exhibitions from the Mesolithic

through to the early historic period. Iron age forts abound on

Mull and there are crannogs and castles (ruined or otherwise)

of the medieval period and later. A photographic record of

standing stones compiled by Dr Bill Clegg is available in the

exhibition and the archaeologist’s report by Jo Wright on the

Baliscate stones is in the Museum library I-H.1 and 2. Standing

stones at Ardnacross and Glengorm have also been the subject

of excavation. Much of the material pertaining to the

excavation of an early Christian chapel at Baliscate may be

found in ARCHAEOLOGY 02 and a publication “Baliscate . . .

2010-2014” describes this community project. A brief general

guide to Mull’s archaeology is “Mull: Monuments and History”

which has useful maps of all sites, based on those listed in

RCHAMS volume “Argyll 3”

thought to have been separate from any village or church as it

was for victims of a contagious disease

(cholera/typhoid/smallpox). It is also the site of a previous saw

pit, probably connected with boat building (as suggested in the

sketch). Since the sketch was made a new house has been built

adjacent to the site and any archaelogical content/context has

been lost.

Aros Estate papers. Aros estate comprised the former Drumfin

estate, once the property of Hugh MacLean of Coll. It belonged

subsequently to Alexander Crawford who added Tobermory,

the former British Fisheries lands which he purchased from

David Nairne of Drumkilbo in 1845. In 1856 the estate was sold

to Farquhar Campbell and in 1873 it was acquired by Bryce Allan

who died shortly after. He probably never lived there but he

left leaving the estate to his son Alexander, who enlarged and

improved the building whilst living at Badarroch. The mansion

was demolished in 1962. National Register of Archives ref to
