In 1802, the Friends , the Helen and the Jane set sail from Fort William bound for Canada with over 300 emigrants from Lochaber, including many McMillans from Loch Arkaig and Glenpean; the area they left behind still remains a wilderness. Who went, why they went and what happened when they reached Canada is explained in this book in a series of specific studies. Passenger lists, genealogies and supportive material have been included.
