Post by d.mackechnie » Mon May 22, 2006 4:17 am

Can anyone tell me or direct me to a map showing the area that was covered by Kilbrandon and Kilchattan, particulaly Kilchattan, have had a look on the few maps that are listed in the General Enquiries section but no luck.

I did a "Google" search for those and it came up as Oban in Argylleshire.
There are some sites on line with maps and discriptions. Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Kilbrandon & Kilchattan parish is a short distance south of Oban and can be seen split across two maps in the 1890s parish maps.

http://www.nls.uk/digitallibrary/map/ea ... _list.html
Sheet 36 - Kilmartin
Sheet 44 - Mull

Kilbrandon & Kilchattan is the yellow-coloured parish at the top right of sheet 36 (Kilmartin). The remainder of the parish is in the bottom right of sheet 44 (Mull). It is made up of mainland and a number of islands, some of them populated.

All the best,
