Burial Grounds


Below is a map of the burial grounds on the Isle of Mull. Whilst every care has been taken to show the exact location, those proposing to visit a given site are advised to consult with a large scale map in order to identify the exact location and the best route of access.
Whilst a number of these sites are well maintained by Argyll and Bute Council, the remainder are wild. As a result it may be difficult to find these sites during the summer when they are likely to be hidden under several feet of bracken. This applies more so to sites where the boundary is all but none existent or consists of only one or two layers of stone.

The memorial inscriptions from a number of the burial grounds are detailed in two Brown and Whittaker books listed below. The 'A', 'F', 'G' and 'K' in the 'Books' column indicates which book the memorial inscriptions are to be found in.

More detail of some burial grounds (but not memorial inscriptions) can be found in 'Lost Townships, Silent Voices' by Meg Douglas, published in 2003 by Argyll and Bute Library Service, Library Headquarters, Highland Avenue, Sandbank, Dunoon PA23 8PB ISBN 1-903041-06-6
