Tobermory (/ˌtoʊbərˈmɔːri/; Scottish Gaelic: Tobar Mhoire)[2] is the capital of, and until 1973 the only burgh on, the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. It is located on the east coast of Mishnish, the most northerly part of the island, near the northern entrance of the Sound of Mull. The village was founded as a fishing port in 1788; its layout was based on the designs of Dumfriesshire engineer Thomas Telford. As of 2022 its population was 1,045.[3] It is notable as the location for the 2002–05 children's programme Balamory by the BBC.
