Newton
[edit]"In the 1920s the Estate was put up for sale by the family, and sold for a distressed low price due to its vast size and the general worldwide economic downturn. The 600 acre Isle of Càrna at the mouth of Loch Sunart was bought back by the family from the sale, and still remains within the family as a monument to the once great estate."
In fact the Rahoy estate also remained in the Newton family ownership, until my grandmother (the widow of Mark Goodwin Newton) sold it in the mid-1950s and moved to Oban for the last few years of her life. --Molly Mockford (talk) 18:06, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
What a mess
[edit]This article, as currently written, is a hopeless mess. One would have thought that the area only popped into existence in the 20th century. No historical perspective whatsoever. --Mais oui! (talk) 08:48, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
