The brightly coloured houses lining the harbour were designed to help fishermen identify their homes and local businesses from the harbour or while at sea, particularly in foggy or cloudy conditions.
These buildings are a signature sight along the harbourfront and even served as the backdrop for the television series Balamory.
In addition to its stunning homes, one of Tobermory’s main draws is its wildlife.
Boat tours around the bay provide visitors with picturesque cruises.
The more daring tourists can join Sea Life Mull for a chance to spot minke whales, basking sharks, and bottlenose dolphins in their natural habitat, reports the Express.

The path meanders along the coastline, offering breathtaking views over the ocean.
