* WhereTheHellIsSpringfield: The only thing we know about Balamory's location is that it's off the coast of Scotland (characters even call Scotland "the main land"). It ''is'' based and named after Tobermory, and some scenes ''were'' shot there. Keyword being "some". Archie's castle is the real life Fenton Tower, which is located in East Lothian, not the Isle of Mull. Then there's the fact that Miss Hoolie's nursery was shot in Glasgow. So who knows where this place really is?
