Pennyghael in the Past Historical Archive

It all began in 1998 when Ros Jones from Pennycross thought of a way of raising money for the Pennyghael Community Association, as it then was.

She suggested making a booklet containing copies of old photos of the area, lent to us by senior community members, with a brief explanatory note for each. It sounded a good idea, so we began asking around for contributions.

The Archive now holds detailed information on each farm within the postal district of Pennyghael. From the west, it includes Kilpatrick, Ardchrishnish, Ormsaig, Beach, Beinn an Aoinidh, Torrans (3 farms and Torrans Township), Killunaig, Pennycross, Carsaig, Carvalog, Pennyghael, Kinloch, Airds of Kinloch, Ulvalt, Ardvergnish, Dererach, Killiemore, Kilfinichen, Tiroran, Scobul, Slochd, Salachry, Culliemore, Tavool, Burg, Knockroy, Cambus, Achonnaill, Ballymeanach, Gribun and Inch Kenneth.
