Mull

Mull is a large, mountainous island off the western coast of Scotland, separated from the mainland by the Sound of Mull. At the eastern entrance to the sound stands Duart Castle, the stronghold of the MacLeans. The family acquired it through a marriage with the house of the Lords of the Isles and made it the centre of their power on Mull. During the wars of the seventeenth century, the castle fell to General David Leslie's forces in 1647.
