MULL Various
Mull (Continued) , ... as having a rugged and boisterous coast, a wet and stormy climate, and a rough unpromising tractless surface redeemed by fine spots in sheltered valleys or at the head of bays and the bolder inlets of the sea. It has several fresh water lakes the largest of which are Loch Frisa in the north, Loch Uisg in the south, and Loch Ba near the head of loch na Keal. The island though singularly poor in Antiquities contains three interesting examples of the semi-ancient fortalice - The Castle of Aros overlooking the Sound of Mull in the vicinity of the Cognominal hamlet - Duart Castle looking up Loch Linnhe - and the Castle of Moy standing in the vicinity of the modern mansion at the head of Loch Buy. The chief trade of the island is centred at Tobermory, which is its only town and there also are its seats of justice and its principal civil institutions.
