"Mull of Kintyre" is a song by the Anglo-American rock band Wings written by Paul McCartney and Denny Laine. The song was written in tribute to the picturesque Kintyre peninsula in Scotland and its headland, the Mull of Kintyre, where McCartney has owned High Park Farm since 1966. The song was Wings' biggest hit in Britain where it became the 1977 Christmas number one, and was the first single to sell over two million copies nationwide.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul McCartney Biography )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK Top 10 Best Selling Singles )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theofficialcharts.com/artist/_/paul%20mccartney/ )〕 ==History== The lyrics of the first verse, also used as the repeating chorus, are an ode to the area's natural beauty and sense of home: McCartney explained how the song came into being: "Mull of Kintyre" was recorded in August 1977 in London, during a break in recording the ''London Town'' album caused by Linda McCartney's advanced pregnancy, which led to the departure of Jimmy McCulloch and Joe English from Wings. Bagpipes from Kintyre's local Campbeltown Pipe Band were included as a prominent part of the recording. The recording happened on August 9, 1977, with Paul's vocals and acoustic guitar taped outdoors.〔Luca Perasi, ''Paul McCartney: Recording Sessions (1969-2013''), L.I.L.Y. Publishing, 2013, ISBN 978-88-909122-1-4, p. 163.〕 "Mull of Kintyre" and "Girls' School" (a rocker that had been previously recorded for ''London Town'') were released as a double A-sided single on 11 November 1977, independently of the album. It was included on the Wings compilation ''Wings Greatest'' in 1978,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wings Greatest )〕 and the UK/Canada version of McCartney's 1987 compilation album, ''All the Best!''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Paul McCartney - All The Best CD Cover )〕 as well as his 2001 compilation ''Wingspan: Hits and History''.
