So Charles was a drover on Coll. That is interesting.
You have probably seen this before, but I found it quite interesting. I ve no idea how accurate it is.

My own McLean ancestors seem to have been on Tiree  in the eighteenth Century. Do you know anything about the Grishipol family lines there?

[Jmcclean]

Lauchlan McLean of Grishipol was the joint Bailie of Tiree and leased a mill.
He would have lived there for a few years with his family until the Maclean/Argyll troubles flared and he had to flee for his life as an Argyll employee.
No other members of the family that I know of lived on Tiree.

What of Charles? His work as a drover would have taken him away from home. Was he the Charles who married Elspet Monro and had a son Alexander in 1690? I don't know If he had other family, or what became of them.

Good stuff.

Does anyone know if this family, William McLean born Mull 1702, have any connection with the McLean of Grishipol?

Donald Maclean born 1729 ish married Margeret Macdonald; Caolas Tiree could be our ancestor. Some of their family moved to Kenovay.

 I'm interested to learn more about Charles McLean of Coll.
Is there a book about the drovers of the islands and the routes they followed?
