Jura was lovely. A five minute ferry from Islay. When you go to Islay from the mainland, you are aware of how remote you are. What's strange is that when you go over to Jura, Islay feels a bit like the uncouth, busy mainland. Jura is remote and peaceful. It's where Orwell wrote 1984. You get a sense of serenity when you're on Jura, helped by the fact that the only road winds round the side of the hills, alongside the coast. I can imagine it being a very restful place. We only went over for a drive and some lunch. I don't think I could live on it, but I would like to experience a short break on it one day.
