ISLE OF JURA ACCOMMODATION SERIES

Jura falls to the extreme end of the latter. I love every Scottish Island that I’ve visited, but some have been slow-burners, while others were more like a scenic slap in the face. No matter what weather it wears, Jura is an absolute beauty. It was as if these temperamental conditions were deliberate, allowing me to literally see the island in so many different lights. Then, beams of sunlight forced their way through the thick clouds, to illuminate the landscape and highlight the true blue of the water.

There were droplets of dew on the grass, and the pebbles on the beach were grey with polka dots from the sporadic sprinkling of rain. When I arrived on Jura, the mist was low and lingering. Was this even the same island I had spent the last two days on? Just an hour earlier, the heavens opened and a luminous rainbow had appeared. It was as if the seasons had shifted, and I was being teased by this glorious outburst. I knew I’d find it hard to leave, and this was definitely not helping. Palm trees, sparkly sea, and the warmth of the sun on my skin.

This trip to Jura was on a paid campaign called ‘ The Heart & Soul of Scotland’ with Wild About Argyll and People Make Glasgow.Ĭheck out my other blogs in this series ‘ Islay Bucket List: The Best Whisky, Food & Experiences’, ‘ My Top Ten Ways to Spend a City Break in Glasgow’and ‘ Where to Find the Best Street Food in Glasgow‘ When I embarked on a solo adventure to the island – entirely on public transport from Glasgow via Islay – I quickly discovered that there is so much more to this wildly gorgeous island. On the surface, the Isle of Jura can be defined by its famous whisky, the imposing Paps and its abundance of deer.
