| HUMAN REMAINS FOUND A.D. 1859 [Eileach an Naoimh] | Human Remains found A.D. 1859 | Mr A. Livingston Garbh Eileach Mr M. Livingston Garbh Eileach Miss J. Livingston Garbh Eileach |
128 | About 18 years ago while Mr Alexander Livingston (father of the three authorities given hereon) then shepherd at Garbh Eileach, was engaged building this sheepfold & clearing away piles of stones, which then stood on the site, he came upon a number of bones and one human skull. From the fact that the bones were scattered by the sheepfold, it is supposed that the Old Burial ground, which is now close to the fold on the S. [South] side, had at one time occupied the ground on which now stands the sheepfold and that the remains discovered were those of persons interned therein. |

Ordnance Survey - Argyll county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Argyll, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
