An iconic CBeebies programme could be heading to Rothesay as a filming location for its highly-anticipated reboot.
Balamory will be back on TV screens in 2026 after being commissioned for two new seasons by the BBC.
The announcement was made by BBC Children’s and Education after the show had been off air for almost 20 years.
It’s been reported that the revamped programme will be filmed in Scotland, either in Tobermory or possibly Rothesay on the Isle of Bute.
“It will be a real treat for parents who grew up with the show to now introduce their little ones to the brightly coloured world getting to know a host of old and new characters together.”
So far, it’s been announced that both series will consist of 10 x14’ episodes, but further information and cast details are still to be announced.
