BunessanBunessan is a small village in the south of the island of Mull, on the west coast of Scotland. Originally a small community of farmers in the Scottish farming tradition called crofting, the village had a mill, weavers and a small fishing fleet until the 1900s. Bunessan is probably best known as the title of the melody for Christmas Hymn, "Child in a Manger". It was written by Mary Macdonald (1789 - 1872), who lived in the crofting community of Ardtun nearby and named it for the village. A monument to her and the remains of her house can still be seen near the village.
