- 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.
- The original working title for the show was "Applecross".
