Tour Scotland travel Blog photography of Ardalanish Beach on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and trip to Island of Mull. Farming, fishing and burning seaweed to kelp ash, used in the manufacture of soap and glass, were the main economic activities on the island until the 19th century. Highland Clearances reduced the population by two thirds and the island economy collapsed. In the early 20th century there were more sheep than people.
