Mull of Kintyre Lighthouse
Kintyre is a peninsula in the Argyll and Bute district of Scotland. The main town is Campbeltown. The south-western tip of the peninsula is the Mull of Kintyre.

The map of the peninsula is thought to resemble a penis; there was a story (the "Mull of Kintyre Test") that any film showing a penis more erect than Kintyre would be considered obscene and refused a certificate.[1]
