The name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic Maol Chinn Tìre (Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [mɯːl̪ˠ çiɲˈtʲʰiːɾʲə]), 'Rounded [or bare] Headland', where chinn and tìre are respectively the genitive forms of ceann 'head, headland' and tìr 'land, country', so 'Headland Country' or more simply 'Head Land'. The anglicised variant Cantyre derives directly from non-genitive Ceann Tìre Scottish Gaelic pronunciation: [kʲʰaɲˈtʲʰiːɾʲə].

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.[citation needed]

The term mull derives from maol 'bald, bare; baldness, bareness'.[1][2] The geographical reference is to a land formation bare of trees, such as a rounded hill, summit, mountain, promontory, or headland.

The Mull is at the extreme south western tip of the Kintyre peninsula, approximately 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Campbeltown in Argyll and Bute, Western Scotland. It is about 8 miles (13 kilometres) beyond the southernmost village of the peninsula, Southend with its tea room and beaches, and reached via a single-track road.[3]
