Excursion Tobermory town & whisky walk tour at Tobermory
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Explore the local history, landmarks and spirits of Tobermory on-foot during a scenic sightseeing excursion around this charming harbour-front.
Tobermory Harbour, Fishing Vessels and Multi-Coloured Houses
Depart the pier for a scenic, guided walking tour along Tobermory Harbour, a vibrant hub of fishing vessels and yachts throughout the year. Along the way, admire the rows of pretty, multi-coloured houses lining the seafront. This charming location led to Tobermory's selection as the setting for the award-winning children's television programme, Balamory. The theme of the programme was based around what happens in-and--around each coloured house.
Seafront Stroll and Mull Museum
As your stroll continues along the seafront, your guide shares interesting aspects of local history, both ancient and modern. A stop is made at the delightful Mull Museum, with its compact history of the town and Isle of Mull. Leaving Mull Museum, walk to Tobermory Whisky Distillery.
Tobermory Whisky Distillery Tour and Tasting
Established in 1798, Tobermory Whisky Distillery is the only distillery on Mull and one of the oldest commercial distilleries in Scotland. It is unique, not just because of its idyllic location, but because produced two different, yet equally-alluring single malts; the fruity Tobermory, and more robust and smoky Ledaig. During your guided tour of the distillery, learn about the brewing processes, then proceed for a tasting of two drams, a 10-year-old Tobermory and 10-year-old Ledaig. Following your tour and tasting, return to the pier on-foot.
