Old Photograph Arhain Point Calgary Bay Isle of Mull Scotland

Old photograph of sheep on Arhain Point overlooking Calgary Bay, Isle of Mull, Scotland. On the East side of the bay Calgary House, now called Calgary Castle, was built in 1817 extending an earlier Calgary Estate laird's house. Colonel James Macleod, Commissioner of the North West Mounted Police, was a summer guest here. In 1876, shortly after returning to Canada, he suggested its name for Fort Calgary which gave rise to the city of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
