Welcome to the Isle of Jura
The Isle of Jura is one of Scotland’s last wildernesses. A little over 200 people are outnumbered by more than 5,000 deer on this stunning Scottish island.
Welcome to the Isle of Jura
One of Britain's last great wildernesses, the Isle of Jura is an untamed beauty. A hidden and mostly unexplored gem in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides where rugged coastal landscapes rub shoulders with world-famous whisky and expansive wilderness. Jura is an island of adventure, tranquillity, and unforgettable magic.

Jura has a lot to offer its visitors
Jura is perhaps most well known for four things – George Orwell, who lived here at Barnhill while writing 1984; the KLF who came here to burn a million pounds; the Corryvreckan, 3rd biggest whirlpool in the world; and its single malt whisky.
But there are plenty more things to see and do, we’ve covered a few things on the Things To Do page. There are many historical sites of interest, varying from Iron Age Forts, ancient burial grounds and standing stones.
Updated 17/04/25. These pages are updated by volunteer locals, we hope you find up-to-date information here and let us know if we’ve missed anything or have anything incorrect and we’ll put that right.
