In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Bunessan like this:
Bonessan, a village in Kilfinichen and Kilviceuen parish, Mull island, - Argyllshire, at the head of Loch Sloch, near the mouth of Loch Scriden, 6 miles E of the western extremity of the Ross of Mull, and 27 miles WSW of Oban. It has a post office under Oban, with money order, savings' bank, and telegraph departments, the parish church (1804; 350 sittings), and a public school.
Bunessan is now part of ARGYLL AND BUTE Council. Click here for graphs and data of how ARGYLL AND BUTE has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Bunessan itself, go to Statistics.
