Paul McCartney & Wings - Mull Of Kintyre (1977)

Mull Of Kintyre was the very first single to sell over 2 million copies and became the fastest selling single of all time.
The bagpipes played by The Campbeltown Pipe Band were a prominent feature on the recording.

@Boxcar84our To think my forefathers stormed a battlefield with Kilt and Sword and now my generations storm streets with bottles and knives, would love to see a traditional Scotland again!

What an earworm - for days in my head - awesome!

I was furious when this record was released because the stations would not play it in the United States. Instead, at the exact same time that this record was selling around the world, all the stations here were playing Debbie Boone's recording of "You Light Up My LIfe." Explain that one to me !

@jillaaree True,only a few stations even bothered to play it in the U.S

But it is one of Paul McCartney's biggest selling singles everywhere

else! Figure that one out!?

@jillaaree Why thank you for being so kind, I'm proud to be a true Scot. When I was coming home after a trip to the US, which I loved, the plane circled Glasgow airport and flew slightly north and I could clearly see Loch Lomond in the distance, I have to say that it took my breath away as I have never seen it from above, beautiful is an under statement. Yes long live Scotland.

@CodOverloadNoob Long live Scotland. What a beautiful land and beautiful people!

@crazycatlady68 This is a very moving song! I love it! It did not get much play here in the States.

Linda looks either overcome by the heat of the fire or either she is pregnant with their son James at the time of this video. She looks almost as if she is going to be ill. God Bless you Linda!
