Mull Of Kintyre
The Mull of Kintyre is the southwesternmost tip of the Kintyre Peninsula (formerly ''Cantyre'') in southwest Scotland. From here, the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland is visible on a calm and clear day, and a historic lighthouse, the second commissioned in Scotland, guides shipping in the intervening North Channel. The area has been immortalised in popular culture by the 1977 hit song "Mull of Kintyre" by Kintyre resident Paul McCartney's band of the time, Wings. Etymology The name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic Maol Chinn Tìre (), in English: "The rounded r bareheadland of Kintyre", where chinn and tìre are the genitive forms of ceann ''head'' and tìr ''land, country'' respectively. The English variant ''Cantyre'' derives from the phrase ceann tìre "head land". Mull as a geographical term is most commonly found in southwest Scotland, where it is often applied to headlands or promontories, and, often more specifically, for the tip of that promontory or peninsula.

Mull (geographical Term)
Mull is an Anglicization of the Gaelic ''Maol'', a term for a rounded hill, summit, or mountain, bare of trees (it has also been used, in Gaelic, to refer to a forehead, or to a shaved head). As an adjective, the word is used to indicate something which is bare, dull, or bald. In Scotland, the term is most commonly used in the southwest, where it is often applied to headlands or promontories, and, often more specifically, for the tip of that promontory or peninsula. Gaelic spelling rules require that maol, in certain syntactical arrangements, be lenited: that is, an ''h'' is inserted after the first letter, if the first letter is a consonant (and not an l, n, or r). This ''h'' makes the preceding consonant silent, or changes its sound (mh, or bh, for instance, are silent or sound like an English v). In some circumstances (e.g., genitive case), in addition to lenition, the last consonant must be slender (proceeded and followed, if applicable by an i or an e). As both vowels in mao ...

Mull Covered Bridge
The Mull Covered Bridge is a historic wooden covered bridge in the northwestern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Built in the middle of the nineteenth century, it is located near Burgoon in Sandusky County. Although it is no longer used to facilitate transportation, the bridge has been preserved and is now a historic site. Construction In 1851, Amos Mull owned a sawmill along the east branch of Wolf Creek in Ballville Township but had a significant problem: the stream hindered potential customers. After he petitioned the Sandusky County Commissioners for aid, his efforts bore fruit: the commissioners agreed to grant $75 toward the construction of a covered bridge near Mull's streamside house, and he agreed to provide the lumber needed to build the bridge.Mull Covered Bridge [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
