Thank you for posting this map. Ive found researching Knapdale to be very difficult: it seems to be rarely mentioned as an area in it’s own right and although a Scot who has travelled around the country a fair bit, I’d honestly never heard of the area.
In completing family history research I discovered that my paternal family come from Knapdale and 2 generations dug out the Crinan Canal. I now live in England but I am planning a spring journey to Scotland to hit the records offices and universities and visit Knapdale. Im also going to check the canal archives, now held by the water authorities.
I found your two maps of Knapdale very useful: this is the only source I’ve found that clearly lists the villages.
Your work is of an excellent academic standard and a really valuable springboard to other sources too. Thank you.
