[Ardchattan & Muckairn] Extract from
'A Statistical Account of Argyleshire'
Pp468-522 bound in marbled boards, black buckram spine. We imagine this
1844 account - and it isn't just a load of figures and tables - may be all you'll find in
print on this mountainous parish which straddles Loch Etive. Attractive little book.
(ref 1180) *£20.00
[Kilninver] Invoice for Repairs to the Church
Invoice from Malcolm Brown, slater & plasterer of Balvicar by Oban, for
work done in 1911. Only very brief details shown. (Ref C195/34) *£2.50
[Lorn Poor House] Invoices
1860s-1870s invoices from 5 Oban traders for goods supplied. (ref C195/32) *£5.00
Highways and Byways in Mull
P A MacNab, 1981 2nd ed. 56pp, bound with the original card covers in buckram
boards. 'This booket is designed for motorists, walkers, and anyone interested in the many
known and lesser known items to be seen along the 150 miles of roads, or within walking
distance, together with the traditions and stories behind them, many of which would
otherwise be forgotten with the passing of an older generation'. There's just the right
balance between not-enough and too-much detail and I'd certainly take the book with me
should I visit Mull. VG. (ref 8216) *£3.50
Oban
Ward Lock Red Guide, 11th ed 1947. Front board loose, generally G. £2.00
[Oban & District] Summonses
for Debts
A super collection of perhaps 100 summonses for small debts issued on behalf
of the Sheriff of Argyllshire during the period 1911 to 1930s. I haven't counted them all
as they are intermingled with other documents. A few leases were noted, and there is also
some copy correspondence concerning Lorn Buildings. The summonses are accompanied in most
cases by billheads from unpaid suppliers, many of them local. A local history project in
its own right. (ref 7626) £48.00 Not
for export
[St Columba Church] 6 Invoices
1890-1909 invoices from 4 Oban traders for goods supplied or repairs carried
out to the church. (ref C195/33) *£4.00
