Tobermory is the capital of, and the only burgh on, the Isle of Mull in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. Tobermory is located in the northeastern part of the island, near the northern entrance of the Sound of Mull.
Many of the buildings on Main Street of Tobermory , 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.
The clock tower on the harbour wall is a noted landmark. The town of Tobermory also contains an arts centre, An Tobar, the management of which was merged with Mull Theatre in 2012 to form the umbrella arts organisation Comar. The theatre remains, based just outside Tobermory in Drumfin, and is used by youth and adult dance and drama groups, hosting a wide variety of performances. Tobermorite, a calcium silicate hydrate found near Tobermory in 1880, was named after the town.
The fictional town of Torbay in Alistair MacLean's novel When Eight Bells Toll was based on Tobermory, and much of the 1971 movie was filmed in the town and other parts of Mull. The writer Saki gave the name to a talking cat in one of his most famous short stories and two well-loved children's TV series have made use of the town's name. Elisabeth Beresford called one of the Wombles 'Tobermory', and more recently the town played host to its almost-namesake Balamory for three years (2002–2005).
Ferries sail between Tobermory and the mainland to Kilchoan on the peninsula of Ardnamurchan, but principal access to the island is via ferry between Oban and Craignure. Craignure is some 22 miles from Tobermory. This is the main route for visitors to the island. An additional ferry route is between Lochaline on the mainland to Fishnish.

Harbour porpoise - Video Learning - WizScience.com
The harbour porpoise is one of six species of porpoise. It is one of the smallest marine mammals. As its name implies, it stays close to coastal areas or river estuaries, and as such, is the most familiar porpoise to whale watchers. This porpoise often ventures up rivers, and has been seen hundreds of miles from the sea. The harbour porpoise may be polytypic, with geographically distinct populations representing distinct races: P. p. phocoena in the North Atlantic and West Africa, P. p. relicta in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov, an unnamed population in the northwest Pacific and P. p. vomerina in the northeast Pacific.
The English word porpoise comes from the French pourpois , which is from Medieval Latin porcopiscus, which is a compound of porcus and piscus . The old word is probably a loan-translation of a Germanic word, cf. Danish marsvin and Middle Dutch mereswijn . Classical Latin had a similar name, porculus marinus, and the notion behind the name is probably a fancied resemblance of the snout to that of a pig or the sound of a porpoise breathing resembling a pig snort. The species is sometimes known as the common porpoise in texts originating in the United Kingdom. It is also called a puffer or puffing pig by fishermen in New England and eastern Canada. The species' taxonomic name, Phocaena phocaena, is the Latinized form of the Greek φώκαινα, phōkaina, big seal, as described by Aristotle; this from φώκη, phōkē, seal.

Young dogfish moving inside egg case
In May 2015, some local fishermen brought in a lesser-spotted dogfish (also known as a small-spotted catshark). She was later released after a few weeks, but before she went back into the wild she laid 4 eggs in the tank.
Shark and ray egg cases are known as 'mermaid's purses' are usually found wrapped around seaweed. The embryos take 5-11 months to develop, dependent on the sea temperature.
At the moment we can see at least two juvenile dogfish moving in their cases! Here's one of them in action!
