THE ISLAND OF JURA
The island of Jura is one of Scotland’s best kept secrets – a beautiful but little known island with a population of some 200 people. The quiet life of Jura would be hard to find anywhere else, and the inhabitants of Jura are proud of that. However, if you want an active holiday, there are many things for you to see and do.
Climb the hills
If you enjoy walking and hill climbing, for example, then the hills of Jura, which rise to more than 800 meters, should be on your list. As these walks take about seven hours, strong walking boots are recommended and an early start is essential for a safe return before dark.
Enjoy the wildlife
Beautiful birds, seals, golden eagles… From the moment you get off the Jura ferry at Feolin, the chances are that you will see deer happily feeding on sea plants along the shoreline. In fact, you would do well to have your camera with a flash within easy reach, as there will be many opportunities to get those special once-in-a-lifetime photographs.
Visit the Ardfin Gardens
They are open all year round. Entry is through the main gate, where you will find an information board and a box with maps and short guides to the two garden walks you can do. The beginning of both walks will take you over a small stream. It is here that you turn left to do the longer of the two walks along the cliff tops. The views are spectacular and on a clear day you will be able to see as far as Northern Ireland. Back at sea level, don’t forget to visit the walled garden.
Where to stay and shop
The island has only one large hotel. The Jura Hotel offers visitors a warm and friendly atmosphere, an excellent menu, and their prices are what you would expect to pay in other parts of Scotland. For those who wish to camp on Jura, the hotel field is excellent, with shower facilities at the back of the hotel. Just opposite the hotel is ‘Jura Stores’. From the outside it looks like any other small village shop. However, once inside you will be surprised at the selection of goods on offer – from delicious cakes to waterproofs and sleeping bags. The owner has built his own website, so you can email him and have the goods you need delivered to your accommodation for your arrival.
Why not spend a few days on Jura? You will come away feeling refreshed, invigorated and pleased with your next visit…
