Tobermory Church of Scotland

Tobermory Parish Church, a prominent and historic Church of Scotland, is a key landmark situated on the hill overlooking Tobermory’s picturesque bay. The current Victorian Gothic style building was erected in 1897, replacing a former structure that had stood on the same site since 1828. Its striking architecture, with a distinctive tower and spire, makes it a notable feature of the town’s skyline and a popular subject for photographs.

The interior of the church is known for its simple and comforting elegance. It features beautiful wooden ceilings, stained-glass windows, and a pipe organ. The church also holds a number of historical items and memorials that attest to Tobermory’s past, including a lectern gifted by naval personnel who were stationed in the bay during the Second World War. The church is a place for both quiet reflection and community worship, with services held weekly.

As a central point of the community, the church’s grounds include a historic churchyard and a memorial to the fallen of the First World War. It is part of the North Mull Parishes, which work to support local communities and welcome everyone. The church’s long-standing presence and central location continue to make it a vital part of Tobermory’s social and spiritual life.
