Trivia:

The brightly-coloured houses in "Ballamory" were not created especially for the series. In 1960, Bobby McLeod, former provost of Tobermory where it is filmed, decided to introduce the colour scheme to brighten up the buildings of the town. He painted his hotel bright pink and the owners of neighbouring buildings soon followed suit.

Welcome to scenic Balamory

Balamory is filmed on the scenic Scottish Isle of Mull and through this series, a lot of people of visited its filming locations and is now quite a tourist attraction. The village where this is filmed contains some rather colourful buildings, especially the houses.

It is for younger viewers where we get to see the adventures of PC Plum, Miss Hoolie and company.

It has plenty of rather catchy songs and rhymes, especially the Balamory theme song.

Very entertaining and educational stuff for the under six's. Worth watching just for the scenery and catchy tunes.
