one of the Western islands of Scotland, about 25 miles long, and as much in breadth. It is in general rocky and barren, not producing a sufficient quantity of corn for the inhabitants; but a great number of cattle are annually exported, which with the fishings and a considerable quantity of kelp are the only articles of commerce. It is deeply indented with bays and creeks, forming in several parts good natural harbours. There are no villages except Tobermory, near the northern point of the island, where a fishing station has been fixed. The island was originally part of the dominions of the Lords of the Isles; but in after times it became a part of the possessions of the ancient family of Macleans, who still retain a considerable part. The duke of Argyll is also a considerable proprietor. The ruins of several ancient castles are seen on this island. The population of Mull, in 1795, amounted to about 8000 persons.
