Isle of Coll - From Whence We Came

“The Macleans hailed from the tiny Isle of Coll, one of the Inner Hebrides located about seven miles west of the Clan Maclean stronghold, the Isle of Mull. Laughlan Maclean, a carpenter by trade, emigrated from Coll to Nova Scotia in 1821 with his wife, Elizabeth Campbell.”
— From "Home Waters"
