[@ludolamot1043]

Paul McCartney wrote this with Denny Laine, his bandmate in Wings. The song is a tribute to the Kintyre Peninsula in Scotland where Paul and his wife Linda had a farm. The Mull is the area at the tip of the peninsula, known for its beautiful scenery and tranquil atmosphere.

[@supertuscans9512]

I saw Denny interviewed about this. He said in reality when he got Paul’s place the song to all intent and purpose was written and there was hardly anything to do and it was an incredible act of generosity on Paul’s behalf to give a credit.

@@supertuscans9512The story I heard Denny tell is Paul had the chorus and the melody and then he and Denny wrote the lyrics. Paul doesn't just give out songwriting credits to anyone.

This was at the time the biggest selling record ever in the UK selling over 2 million records. We went to Scotland and drove just across the sea from the Mull of Kintyre. I believe he had a farm near Campbellton on the Mull which is a peninsula in Western Scotland. Beautiful piece of heaven. I love Scotland so much.

Mull of Kintyre certainly sounds like a song that has been around for centuries, and of all Paul McCartney's songs I think this one is the most likely to be around for centuries to come. It has those qualities that songs that last for centuries have.

[@MrJoelyms]

Very traditional Scottish key change in the middle of the song. Notice how Paul's voice navigates that change (from the root to the 4th) without the slightest difficulty. Not easy to do. Most singers have one key the sing in - Paul can sing in multiple keys. Such a fantastic natural ability. I get chills every time I hear it.

[@mandysmith1756]

[@MelanieNLee]

"Mull of Kintyre" is a patriotic song, if you're from Great Britain or Scotland or even Ireland, or if you have ancestry back there. The lyrics and tune evoke nostalgia, nature, community, and longing for home. The bagpipes kick in that extra ethnic flavor. Without the video, I can picture the hills, the mist, the campfire with people singing around it--and I picture a lone bagpiper emerging out of the mist, in an abstract multicolored eerie almost psychedelic animation, when the bagpipe starts to play. I can imagine the group around the campfire shouting and banging their fists in the air as the song ends, stirred up in their collective pride for their home. They're excited and they're at peace at the same time.

[@papercup2517]

Paul bought the farm there on the Mull of Kintyre in 1966, originally just as some sort of tax thing he was advised to do. I think he only visited it occasionally while the Beatles were busy being the biggest band in the Universe. It was just a ramshackle little cottage and some outbuildings and land. But later when Linda came into his life, she fell in love with the place, its remoteness and freedom and closeness to nature, and so they began to spend more time there, eventually raising their family in that same ramshackle cottage with no running hot water, keeping sheep and other animals, riding their horses over the moorland and the kids playing on that little beach you see in the video, among the rocks. Paul was deeply traumatised by the break-up of the Beatles, and basically shut himself away there in Scotland for a long time, not wanting to get out of bed and drinking heavily, etc... only Linda's TLC and encouragement brought him out of it eventually, able to face life again, and the idea of starting again from scratch, eventually forming a new band, Wings, which he persuaded Linda to join him in. At some point Paul started musing about Scotland's folk song heritage - all those wistful songs invoking semi-mystical memories of days gone by, lost loves and wild country, with lilting melodies, haunting bagpipes, et al.. and he wondered why there weren't any modern/recent songs being written in similar vein....and so, of course, he wrote one....

[@chrisy8989]

Not a criticism but the Isle of Mull and Mull of Kintyre are two different places in Scotland.

[@papercup2517]

@@chrisy8989 Oh wow, thanks Chris for the correction. I remember many years ago family friends talking about spending holidays on the Isle of Mull, and thought it must be the same place - even though I knew it wasn't an island... but put that down to UK eccentricities of nomenclature... Have corrected it now - thanks again.. It's always good to learn new things, even if a little late...:-)

[@kevinmulligan9055]

​@papercup2517 aye different places I live not far from isle of mull infact was there 2 weeks ago. I live in glencoe area. Mull of Kintyre is down near Campbeltown. The cottage in the video wasn't their farm. That sits by the shoreline, they lived a bit inland. Paul still owns the farm and kept it running as a working farm until about 2 years ago and has now closed it up. He stopped coming there for last 10 years, infact its his daughter Stella that came there more often. Now it lies locked up I would imagine the McCartney family will hold onto it as it holds memories for them and its not like they need to sell it. Maybe one of his grandkids will come there and live who knows.

Linda was so good for him he was at his most content.

[@axiomist4488]

A mull is a high area, like a hill, bare of trees (also used to refer to bald people). When all the fighting was going on among the Beatles and Paul had announced publicly that he was quitting the group, he and Linda moved to a sheep farm in the region of Kintyre. They lived with their children (and one of them was born there) and Martha, the sheep dog belonging to Paul, whom he immortalized in the song "Martha My Dear". During this same period he produced his first solo album, in which he played all the parts himself (but not at the mull). His love for that land where he started his life with Linda and was so happy led him to write this song .

[@lorddaver5729]

A mull is a peninsula, not "a high area". Why didn't you do some actual research, instead of guessing...

[@leosag816]

I LOVE this song. For about a year I put it on a loop, on my iPod Nano, fell asleep to it & woke up to it feeling nothing but hopeful & so grateful. Thank you for reminding me. Thank you Paul, Linda, Denny & bag pipers.

[@dougiemilnephotography756]

The Mull of Kintyre is at the south-west corner of the Kintyre peninsula in Scotland. From it, you can see County Antrim in Northern Ireland - it's only a few miles away. McCartney bought a farm in Kintyre, near Campbeltown at the height of the Beatles success and the area inspired some of his best known songs. Fixing a Hole was literally about mending the roof of the farm, while the Long and Winding Road stretches down Kintyre's coast between Tarbert and Campbeltown. While both of those inspirations were developed as metaphors for other things, Mull of Kintyre is literally about the location of his Kintyre farm - presumably he added the "Mull of" prefix because it scanned better. The Mull itself isn't particularly photogenic - it is a long and winding (and very steep) road down to a lighthouse perched on a cliff some 85m above the sea. The video was filmed at Saddell Bay, around 30 miles away on the east coast of Kintyre. Saddell Bay hasn't changed much over the intervening 45 years - the outhouse on the left side of the cottage at the beginning of the video has been demolished, and the fence that Paul sits on has gone. Further along the beach, near the castle, a humanoid sculpture by Anthony Gormley, named GRIP, has been installed on one of the rocky outcrops, looking across the sea to Ailsa Craig. But other than that the place is virtually the same.

[@sisuboy]

The Bagpipes are killer great.

[@andrewclayton4181]

It got to no.1 for a number of weeks. He wanted to write a new Scottish folk song, and it celebrates his refuge too. The Irish radio dj used to refer to it as Mulligan's tyre. The song got a lot of stick because it was popular and was played a lot. Some thought it cheesy. Just sit back and let the vibes flow over you, we've all got a place to chill out in.

[@JoeScottish]

I'm sure a million people have told you it's a place in Scotland where Paul retreated to after the Beatles. This was recorded 7 years after the Beatles split up, and was the big Christmas Number One in the UK 1977 and is still the biggest selling non-charity song in the UK.

Sir Paul originally bought a farm in Scotland as a tax saving purchase. But when the Beatles broke up, he had what I think was a nervous breakdown, and Linda convinced him to live there. Linda and the farm saved his sanity and maybe even his life. They spent a lot of time there hidden from the world. Their kids had no idea who Paul was, only their daddy. It was a huge shock when they found out how incredibly famous he was. I think they realized when Wings performed at a huge stadium that was packed full of screaming fans cheering his name. ❤

This song has so much meaning for me. A few years back I was laid off from a position after having worked there for 20 years. I was sure I was going to be there through retirement, but no such luck. Many, many others were laid off too that day. I went home to the south coast of MA. There is a beautiful Audubon preserve there that looks out on the ocean. I went out there, very peaceful, very private, put on this song and reflected while in my Mull of Kyntyre. The song really soothed me and I am not ashamed to say, brought a tear to my eye.

Interesting story: Paul bought his property in Scotland shortly before he and Linda got married. Paul said he knew little about Scotland but fellow Beatle John Lennon had relatives there and would "talk about it in very fond terms". "I think my attraction to it came through him talking about it originally," he says. "When I met Linda and we were becoming a couple she said 'haven't you got a place up in Scotland?'." "We went up and she totally fell in love with it. She loved the wildness and she loved horse riding and animals generally." I'm betting he spent a lot more time on his farm in Scotland after he married Linda.

@@patticrichton1135 I did a little checking and as it turns out, he bought the farm while he was dating Jane Asher but it was a year and a half before he was actually engaged to her. Some dates..."Friday, June 17, 1966: Paul McCartney purchases High Park Farm in Kintyre, Scotland". The engagement to Jane Asher was announced a year and a half later on Dec 25, 1967. Then about 7 months later on July 20, 1968, Jane Asher announced that her engagement to Paul McCartney was over after she found him in bed with an American woman named Francie Schwartz.. Meanwhile Paul had actually met Linda for the first time in May of 1967 while she was in London on a Photoshoot. That was six months before he became engaged to Jane Asher and about a year after he had bought the farm. He and Linda met again a few days later at a party for St Peppers Lonely Hearts. Then she flew back to New York. They got together again a year later in New York in May of 1968 for the inauguration of the Apple Label. Then a couple of months later he invited Linda to London and she went to stay at his home for the evening. He would eventually marry Linda on March 12th, 1969. Oh what a tangled web, lol.

When I traveled around the U.K. in a rented car, when I was 21 years, I drove down the peninsula of Kintyre, on a very rainy day (May 1990). I knew that at the end of the peninsula, that one could see Northern Ireland,...which on that stormy day, was not possible. I knew this song since I was 8 years old, when my brother bought the LP of "Wings Greatest". The "Long and Winding Road" leads to Paul's farm property, which I did not find, yet, despite the rain storm, and not finding the mull (peace) of Kintyre, I was glad to visit. Drove onto Loch Lomond for lodging that night. The Pipe and Drum band is from Cambletown, also from Kintyre.
