Tour Scotland travel video of part of a road trip drive on the Island Of Mull Inner Hebrides. Mull has been inhabited since around 6000 BC. Bronze Age inhabitants built menhirs, brochs and a stone circle. In the 14th century Mull became part of the Lordship of the Isles. After the collapse of the Lordship in 1493 the island was taken over by the Clan MacLean, and in 1681 by the Clan Campbell. Following the Highland Clearances in the 18th and 19th centuries, and the Highland Potato Famine, the population of the island fell from 10,000 to less than 3,000. By the early 20th century there were more sheep than people.
