Tobermory Scottish Gaelic: Tobar Mhoire is the capital, and until 1973 the only burgh on, the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides.The name Tobermory is derived from the Gaelic Tobar Mhoire, meaning "Mary's well".The name refers to a well located nearby which was dedicated in ancient times to the Virgin Mary
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. It has a current population of about 1,000

Many of the buildings on Main Street, predominantly shops and restaurants, are painted in various bright colours, making it a popular location for television programmes, such as the children's show Balamory. The burgh hosts the Mull Museum, the Tobermory whisky distillery (and from 2005 to 2009 there was also a brewery, the Isle of Mull brewing company) as well as Mull Aquarium, the first catch and release aquarium in Europe
