Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull was
selected for the Children's T.V programme Balamory, because of its beautiful
location, and, more importantly, its multi-coloured houses. The theme of
the programme is based around what happens in and around each coloured house. |

Balamory is currently being shown
on 'CBeebies' on B.B.C. Many of the coloured houses actually exist and are
positioned in, and around, the town of Tobermory. However, because the
main studios are down in Glasgow, the Nursery School shots are taken there.
Also the castle belonging to Archie, the inventor is not on the island and is at
Fenton Tower in North Berwick. |

Otherwise, most of the filming was
done live in Tobermory, with the help of our own Nursery group, fire crew, local
attractions and businesses.
One of the main attractions used for the filming
(second series) was Mull
Narrow Gauge Railway. The railway is not in Tobermory itself, but is
near to the ferry at Craignure, and runs between the ferry and Torosay Castle.
