History
The Mull has been an important landbridge throughout history. It is thought that it was used by early humans in their travels from continental Europe to Ireland. 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 area has been the site of many air crashes throughout its history; one of the most notorious was the Chinook crash on Mull of Kintyre on 2 June 1994.
