#8 Travel Beyond to Jura -
One cannot travel to straight to Jura. You have to go someplace else first. That would be Islay, and from there it is but a few minutes by ferry over to this lovely, long island of many deer and fewer people. (Six thousand deer, 200 hundred people, one distillery: just the right ratio for civilized life, I think). It has one hotel, one store, one school and one road — which has only one track so you are obliged to be neighborly and pull into the passing place when you meet someone coming the other way. More likely it will be gamekeeper Gordon Muir (who you see here scoping out game half way across the island) bedecked in his tweeds and deerstalker hat. Just everyday scenery on the road that goes 17 miles up Jura to where it ends at Ardlussa. If you soldier on (as some diehard literary hounds do) a bit further you’ll come to a house where an author came in 1947 to write a book. When he finished in 1948 he transposed the last two numbers and published it as the classic 1984. He was George Orwell. If your tastes are not so literary (or bent on seeking out bleak views of the world) then I would recommend that instead you turn down the little road to the the beach at Inverlussa where you find a sign (on most summer afternoons) that says “Tea on the Beach.” Pick up the walkie talkie lying there and call Georgina Kitching up at the farmhouse where she is baking. She says “Hello, would you like some tea and cakes?” Say, yes! (And don’t be picky; it’s all good.) She will be down soon, carrying your just deserts over the bridge, past the swans, to your little bit of secluded heaven. #islandobsession #scotland
