Isle of Jura, tasting whisky and sheep shearing

January 7, 2011 by Ron 1 Comment

jura-sheep-shearingI was reading the Isle of Jura newsletter today and came across a very interesting entry by Willie Cochrane, the Jura Distillery Manager: “Some of you may have got a nice Jura surprise the other night if you were sitting down to watch the TV and spotted Jura – the island, the distillery and me! – appearing in a new show starring Griff Rhys Jones, Rory McGrath and Dara O Briain. If you’ve got access to the iPlayer you can find the whole thing here and if not, here’s a little clip that gives you a taste of what you missed – If you’ve never been to Jura, it shows off the island pretty well.”

The “pretty well” proves to be an understatement, the video is great and very much worth watching and as a bonus you get a free lesson in sheep shearing! Enjoy and on behalf of me a Happy New Year!

    Just wondered on such a small island whether you could tell us who the the older guy and the guy in the blue top is helping with the shearing (shown in blog photo)
