the basis of Calgary Bay being a Site of Special Scientific Interest

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”

Sketch of reputed cemetry by Pat James. The cemetry is
situated at the side of Loch Cuin (Loch A' Chumhainn) just
beyond a footbridge that leads to Creit Dubh. The cemetry is
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.
