Tobermory is on the Isle of Mull in the 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.
In 1788 the British Fisheries Society chose to establish a fishing station to be known as British Harbour. Neither the fishing schemes nor the name caught on, but under the old name of Tobermory - (St) Mary's Well - the new village developed commercially, taking advantage of the increasing coastal shipping anchoring here. The first pier ("Fishermens") was not built until 1814 constructed with advice from Thomas Telford. With the opening of the Crinan Canal in 1817 Glasgow was reachable in two days, steamboats started to run regular services in the 1820s and tourism began to flourish.
