5.0 out of 5 stars An informative and enjoyable read, 29 April 2002
By A Customer
As a frequent traveller to the Isle of Mull, I was a bit sceptical on buying this book at the Tobermory bookshop last Hogmanay: Would a local history book of that volume keep my interest for a while, or will I put it on the shelves having read the first couple of pages? I never put it down till the end, although I'm not personally related to the island or it's Clans. Jo Currie manages to tell significant chapters of the Mull history in a captivating manner. The various local Clans' family histories and key Clansmen (and women) are skillfully revived and cross-referenced in a way the reader finds quite easy to keep track with even if not intimate with local history. This book could almost go for a novel in a 17/18th century west Scotland island setting if it weren't for the many facts and sources the author quotes. Altogether a very informative and enjoyable read that will make me look differently at many places on my next visit to Mull.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for genealogy research involving Isle of Mull, 24 Dec 2000
By triage4077@aol.com (Massachusetts, United States) - See all my reviews
I had purchased this book in the hope my family might be mentioned and therefore I would glean more information about their lives and how they lived those many years agao. My family is not mentioned by name; however that does not matter. The information included, the way in which it is presented, and the details that are given make this book a treasured resource in my efforts to understand the lives of my ancestors.
