Tobermory, the main town on
the Island of
Mull
Tobermory, from ‘Tobar Mhoire’ (Well of Mary). There has
been a small settlement here from the earliest times. The modern
Tobermory was established in 1789 by the British Society for
Encouraging Fisheries. Despite its fine bay, fishing has never
prospered here.
Modern
Tobermory, is the largest town on
Mull. The harbour
front is distinctive for its brightly coloured buildings, giving
a unique and recognisable image often photographed. The wide
selection of privately owned businesses offers variety not found
in the large chains of the mainland. With the filming of the
popular BBC’s children’s TV series,
Balamory here has drawn
children from all over Britain to pay a visit.

 North Tobermory Cliff Walk. Along this walk, a short
distance from the CalMac ferry terminal, there is an old gun
placement with the wooden gun carriage. After about 15 min (at a
brisk pace), one comes out of the trees to an excellent view of
the sea and all that is in it: porpoises, dolphins, whales (if
you are lucky), boats and ships. N.B. This walk is about 100 ft
above sea level with steep drops to the sea.
You will find much to do and see in
Tobermory,
whether you are there for a few hours or all day. We highly
recommend you try out the places listed above, they are in our
opinion excellent and are a must when visiting
Tobermory.
