Tobermory with it's colourful waterfront was chosen by the BBC as the location of the popular children's television series Balamory. The houses are situated in Tobermory apart from Archie's Castle which is now a hotel called Fenton Tower in North Berwick and the Nursery shots were taken in Glasgow.

Please note that Josie Jump's House is a small Hotel called Park Lodge but the other accommodations are all private. It is not possible to look around any of the properties but most residents are happy for the children to be photographed outside their houses. 

Please be aware that Balamory ceased being filmed in Tobermory four years ago but repeats are shown regularly on BBC television.

	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 was based around what happens in and around each coloured house.

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.
