Tobermory History
1588 - one of the Ships from the Spanish
Armada trying to flee back to Spain stopped off
at Tobermory to pick up Supplies. A dispute
with Locals led to the Ships Magazine being
ignited and Blowing the Ship to pieces. Some
people claim the Ship was carrying a vast
amount of Gold Bullion, others claim it was a
Troop Ship with No Valuables.
1780s - Tobermory grew around Fishing.
1798 - Tobermory Distillery began producing
Whisky.
