Interested in history? Come and visit the Mull Museum on Tobermory's colourful waterfront. The history of the Isle Mull is captured in the Mull Museum - a small museum crammed with information about Mull in the past. From early people living in duns and brochs, through the times of warring clans and their castles, to more recent events. Exhibits of crofting, farming, fishing and everyday objects show what life was like in Mull in the past. The wreck of a Spanish galleon in 1588 brought excitement to the place, as did the hundreds of naval personnel who trained here during Second World War. People went from Mull, like Lachlan Macquarie, the father of Australia, and made their mark on the world. Early visitors to Mull include Johnson and Boswell, Mendelssohn and Queen Victoria. BBC ALBA 9th December 2008 8.30pm "Ulaidhean" (Treasures) will feature the Mull Museum. This Gaelic series is on Sky 168 and on Freesat and is subtitled. |
