Mull of Kintyre, Scotland

The song Mull of Kintyre was filmed at Saddell Bay in Kintyre, the real Mull of Kintyre is about 20 miles to the south-west.
At the end of the public road it's a steep drop down a hair-pin road past the 1994 Chinook Helicopter Memorial to the lighthouse. To the south of the lighthouse there's a path to the foghorn building which passes a ruined first world war signalling station. Ireland which is about 12 miles away can be seen. 14 May 2008.

My ancestor emigrated in 1675 to the Royal Colony of Maryland. It must have been traumatic for him to leave such a beautiful place.

Thanks for posting these scenes. I lived near there for a short time, and I used to spend my days off work walking up to the Mull of Kintyre and back. I'll never forget one late May day, it was a calm, clear and warm day and I fell asleep amongst the heather and wild flowers. Waking up and looking out to see and being unable to see where the sky stopped and the water started was a magical moment.

The guy who disliked this must have been a big fan of Wings and found this instead of the song

Was born in Tarbert, Loch Fyne. Have lived in Canada for last 40 years. This brought back beautiful memories; best place in the world! There is no scenery like Argyll.

Thank you.
