Jura

Jura is a beautiful island with a stunning mountain range in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. Until 2008 it was not reachable from the Scottish mainland by public ferry, except through its neighboring island, the well-populated island of Islay.

Jura's peaceful remoteness continues to provide a retreat for internationally famous artists and writers, the most notable example being novelist George Orwell in the 1940s, when he completed his epic '1984' on the island.

The island boasts a large population of wild red deer, and also its own single malt Scotch - produced at the Jura distillery.
