The Whisky Trail by Motorhome
‘What do you think, Angus?’
‘Aye, Dougal, it looks like that ‘wee nippy sweetie’ Morag, has warned auld Alisdair about smoking his pipe in the ‘hoose’ again.’
Deer, deer, deer on Jura
The Island of Jura is about the same size as Islay and its name is believed to originate from the Norse ‘Island of the Deer.’ Despite its size Jura is only inhabited by approximately 200 people who are outnumbered by the huge population of deer. Latest counts by gamekeepers show that Jura has almost 5,500 deer making an encounter with one of these majestic animals inevitable when visiting Jura.
The Island can be reached by car from Port Askaig. A small ferry runs at 30 minute intervals daily from 7.30 am until 6.30 pm. Other means of transportation are a small boat from Colonsay to Loch Tarbert and there is a water taxi from Crinan to Ardlussa but this is mainly for visits to the Corryvreckan Whirlpool.
Abandon the Motorhome and treat yourselves to a whisky at the famous Distillery on the beautiful Isle of Jura.
