Tobermory was built as a fishing port in the late 18th century and is now the main village on Mull. It is a picture-postcard of a place with the brightly painted buildings along the main street to the pier and the high woodland-fringed hills surrounding the bay. The village has a good variety of shops & hotels as well as being the administrative centre for the island.

The harbour is always busy with fishing boats, yachts and the ferry to and from Kilchoan & Oban.  In recent years, the island has become very popular for weddings,  a romantic atmosphere.

More recently, Tobermory has been the setting for the children’s programme Balamory.  After the initial success of these programmes in Britain, Balamory is now reaching a new audience in Australia.

Tobermory is reached by taking about a one hour  ferry ride from Oban then approximately a 45 minute bus ride.
