Lamlash: Arran Clearance memorial
Commemorating the interesting story of the colonisation by some of the islanders of provincial Canada, this monument has around the side a plaque which reads:
Erected on behalf of Arran clearance descendants across North America, to their brave forefathers who departed from their beloved island home to Canada during the clearance years 1829 to 1840. Here at Lamlash on April 25th 1829 part of the clearance (89 souls) when embarking on the brig Caledonia (196 tons), the Rev. A. Mackay preached from The Mound (opposite) formed by the departing, his text "Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you." 1st Peter ch.5 v.7.
The Caledonia arrived at Quebec City June 25th 1829. The group was the first of more than 300 Arran colonists of Megantic County, Province of Quebec. The largest group, more than 400, had as their destination the seaport town of Dalhousie, New Brunswick, to be pioneer settlers of the Restigouche-Bay Chaleur District

Lamlash: mobile Bank of Scotland
This is the third time today that I would encounter the mobile branch of the Bank of Scotland at one of its stops - see Image and Image
These being three of the more major villages on the island, it calls for an hour at each. On other days of the week its timetable includes shorter stops at some of the tinier places.

Lamlash: The Mound
This small, unassuming mound, in the lawn alongside the shore, was formed by the first of 400 islanders who resettled in Canada, leaving Lamlash for their new lives on 25 April 1829. The Rev. A. Mackay preached from it on that day as they set sail. For the whole story, see Image
The memorial is opposite, just across the road to our right.
The village centre, including shops and the parish church, is in the background.
