Tobermory Fisherman's Pier Association

Here's the thing - grant funding is almost always paid retrospectively. So work has to be done, dusted and paid for before the funders cough up. TFPA does not have 750K to pay for the works upfront. So we are in talks with Tobermory Harbour Association to see if they can be custodians of the pier to facilitate the completion of the project. They have been very supportive and keen to help us out so hopefully the project can get going in earnest soon. Thank you THA!

The project to refurbish the pier is moving along - hopefully at pace this year. With the money we have raised so far we have employed Wendy Reid to complete the fundraising phase of the project. Wendy has proven experience in the field - she oversaw the rebuilding of the pier at Ulva Ferry so we feel we have a competent pair of hands at the helm now. We are hoping to have the funds raised this year and deliver the project in 2026.

A huge thank you to all who have contributed so far. We wouldn't even be at this stage without your generosity. Any more donations, small or large, are of course welcome. We've a long way to go.

Thank you!

The engineers report is finally in. Three major works need done - new wooden pilings, the SW corner needs rebuilt and a concrete bed needs to be laid for the boats to lie on. Cost - circa £500K. Golly.

Surveys were done and dusted on Monday. Initial indications are quite positive about the state of the pier but we await the findings of the report. Good news. However, there's still a lot to be done. Thanks Lee for these photos.

🤩🤩🤩Thank you, thank you, thank you Waterfall Fund for the £9600 grant that is allowing the surveys to go ahead this coming weekend. We should then know where we stand in terms of work needing done.

Great news! We can now afford the survey that's needed to assess the state of the pier. Thanks everyone.

Thank you😃😃 so much to those who have donated so far. Over £2000 raised already! If we can raise a few more thousand then we should have enough to fund the structural report which will then allow us to access governmental funding and the like. Thanks again.
