Description:
This map entitled The Isle of Mull & and part of Argyle Shire was engraved and published in 1725 as part of the Atlas of Scotland by Herman Moll (1654? -1732). There are a number of notes concerning historical events. In the Sound of Mull, Moll records the wreck of the Spanish Armada. In 1588 Spain sent 129 ships to attack England. Some were sunk by the English navy, and many were wrecked attempting to return to Spain via the Irish sea. A marginal note refers to the burials of kings of Scotland, Norway and Ireland at St Oran's church on Iona. The original monastery at Iona was founded in 563 by the Irish Missionary St Columba.
