Old Photograph The Mull of Kintyre Scotland
Old photograph of The Mull of Kintyre located on the Southern tip of the Kintyre peninsula Argyll, Scotland. The Mull has been an important land bridge throughout history. It is thought that it was used by early humans in their travels from continental Europe to Ireland via Britain. In more recent times it was used again by the Scotti when they travelled from Ireland to establish the kingdom of Dál Riata in modern-day Argyll. The Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse was the second lighthouse commissioned in Scotland by the Commissioners of the Northern Lights. It was designed and built by Thomas Smith and completed in 1788. From here, the Antrim coast is visible.
