'Inspired and inspiring' new owners sought for charming Scottish island cafe
A cafe, which is part of an arts centre, is up for lease with an “inspiring and inspired” person or person being sought.
The cafe is part of An Tobar and Mull Theatre, an arts centre located in the former Tobermory school building on Mull.
A post about the lease for the cafe reads: “Ever dreamed of running your own café on a Hebridean island? Now’s your chance.
“Café Lease at An Tobar — A Space to Nourish Creativity
“Run your own café at An Tobar, Mull’s vibrant arts hub. Set in Tobermory’s old school building, that was converted into an Arts Centre by the community, this stunning space offers sea views, a creative buzz, and welcomes over 25,000 visitors each year through performances, exhibitions, and learning events.
“We’re looking for an inspired and inspiring leaseholder to bring fresh energy and flair to our much-loved café. Whether you specialise in artisan coffee, delicious home baking, locally sourced meals, or something entirely unique — we’d love to hear your ideas.
“Expect a steady stream of artists, musicians, locals, and tourists through your doors. The café includes indoor and outdoor seating and a well-equipped, domestic-style kitchen — and we’re open to working with you on improvements to make the space truly yours.
“We’re also expanding our programme of private events — from weddings to parties — and are keen to collaborate with our café partner to make the most of these opportunities together.
“Flexible, mutually beneficial lease arrangements are available. If you have a vision for how this café could flourish, let’s talk.”

The An Tobar arts centre opened in 1997 in the school that had lain empty since the 1970s.
An Tobar is Gaelic for "the well", traditionally both a source of sustenance or inspiration, but also a gathering place, and community involvement has been a central ethos for the centre.
