Old photograph of cottages and bridge in Pennyghael, Isle of Mull, Scotland. This Scottish village is approached from the West over a small bridge across the Leidle River which was built in 1836. The MacGillivrays were the dominant family in the village for centuries. Donald MacGillivray was laird of Pennyghael in 1618. Reverend Martin MacGillivray was of the area in from 1631 to 1650. By 1701, one John MacGillivray is mentioned, and in 1751, there was an Alexander MacGillivray associated with Pennyghael. Descendants of the clan may exist but the family line of the Pennyghael family is much less clear than that of the Dunmaglass family. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
