Scope and Content
Aros Estate papers. Aros estate comprised the former Drumfin estate, once the property of Hugh MacLean of Coll. It belonged subsequently to Alexander Crawford who added Tobermory, the former British Fisheries lands which he purchased from David Nairne of Drumkilbo in 1845. In 1856 the estate was sold to Farquhar Campbell and in 1873 it was acquired by Bryce Allan who died shortly after. He probably never lived there but he left leaving the estate to his son Alexander, who enlarged and improved the building whilst living at Badarroch. The mansion was demolished in 1962.
