Welcome to the Ross of Mull Historical Centre

The Ross of Mull is an area so rich in history that there is still visible evidence of the lives of past generations on the beautiful coastlines and moorlands, wherever you walk. From ancient times to the sudden loss of a way of life in the 19th century due to famine, clearance and emigration, there are tales to be told and connections to be rediscovered.

The Ross of Mull Historical Centre (RoMHC) was established in 1997 to help make these connections for both the local communities and visitors to the area who are seeking information on the culture and family ties from the past. RoMHC is the hub for an archive about the people, the history and the natural environment of the Ross of Mull, gathered through research, projects and events. Visit us at the Tigh na Rois Centre in Bunessan for a warm welcome and insight into a fascinating area of the Highlands of Scotland.

The Ross of Mull Historical Centre is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation, SC030873

STOP PRESS – At the Ross of Mull Historical Centre, the building – containing the museum and archives – is closed to the public just now due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With uncertainty about the return of visitors in any numbers to Mull this season, and a concern that we should offer a safe and welcoming environment when they do, we have decided to not re-open the building this year.

The work of the Centre continues however.  We do our best to answer local history enquiries sent by email. If you have a genealogical search request, please visit our new Genealogy page and email enquiries@romhc.org.uk and we can do some research on your behalf – donations gratefully received! Our publications can also be bought on line and posted out. A Community Garden Project for local people is developing in our grounds. And of course we are preparing to welcome you next year.
