Mull of Kintyre (version 1)

Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg had a long-standing collaboration with The Beatles. In 1966, he directed the promotional films for “Paperback Writer” and “Rain,” followed two years later by the clips for “Revolution” and “Hey Jude.” In January 1969, he was brought in to direct a television special that would show Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr rehearsing ahead of a live performance. However, the project soon shifted direction: the television special was abandoned, and the footage was ultimately shaped into the feature film “Let It Be,” released in 1970.

Seven years later, Paul McCartney worked again with Lindsay-Hogg, who directed the music videos for Wings’ songs “Mull of Kintyre,” “London Town,” and “With a Little Luck.”

From Wikipedia:

The official music video was directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and filmed at Saddell Bay on the eastern side of the Kintyre peninsula about seven miles (11 km) from High Park Farm and two months after recording the song. Paul, Linda and Denny perform the song as they overlook the bay and walk down to the beach where the Campbeltown Pipe Band are marching and playing. It culminates in a bonfire singalong with extras from Campbeltown.

The official video was shown on the nine regular editions of Top of the Pops when the song was number one. For the 1977 Christmas Special, the band were booked for the Mike Yarwood Show, and so the video shown was recorded on an indoor set, including trees, mist and the Campbeltown Pipe Band walking through the shot.
