Tobermory, Island of Mull, Scotland, United Kingdom

Tobermory, on the island of Mull, is one of the prettiest port-towns in Scotland, with an unmistakable picture-postcard harbour front. Built as a fishing port in 1788, the town curves gently around the harbour and rises onto the hillside beyond. The name Tobermory comes from the Gaelic for ‘Mary’s well,’ a feature which can still be found at one end of the bay. Main Street is a mix of shops, eateries, hotels and guest houses. The street has an excellent selection of locally produced arts and crafts, a bookshop that also sells fishing tackle, an artisan bakery and chocolate manufacturer, and a small museum. Tobermory Distillery, which opened in 1798, is a favourite destination. Its renowned ten-year-old single-malt whisky is distilled from un-peated malted barley and matured in oak casks.
