Christine Johnston from Canada, called in to see us Spring 2009, she e-mailed
 me the following photos and information about Muasdale House.

"House with my father in it was taken around 1906 with his grandmother 
Elizabeth Colvill and his mother Jean (also known as) Jane Colvill."

Very remote location in those days.  

"Wedding was taken of Jean's wedding to the Rev.William Galbraith of Campbeltown.  Elizabeth and Robert Colvill are to the right of the groom, his mother and step father to the left of the bride. It was taken I suspect
at his town home of Bellgrove.  Still standing and looking good in Campbeltown. 
Date would have been around 1890.

John who bought Muasdale was provost of Campbeltown 1842-8. Previously he owned Drumgarve and later Gartrellian farms still in the Glen Lussa valley to the east. He established Springside which closed in 1922 or so, open a long time and had shares in several other distilleries such as the one where the Creamery now is. Robert inherited these and carried on. 

Unsure who took over Muasdale House after Elizabeth Colvill died. They had 6 children."
