Bunessan is a small village on the Ross of Mull, a peninsula in the south-west of the Isle of Mull, off the west coast of Scotland. The settlement is at OS grid reference NM382217, within the parish of Kilfinichen and Kilvickeon, and is situated on the A849, at the head of a cove at the southern end of Loch na Làthaich.
==History== The village was established by John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll in the late 1700s as a fishing station with a mixed crofting-fishing economy. In 1782, the corn and potato crops in the area were devastated by severe frost and early snow, causing many people to go to the Lowlands to seek work. By 1845, Bunessan had reached a population of 250.
