I Went To Scotland’s Wild Island

I went to Scotland’s wild island. The Isle of Jura is a remote gem in Scotland's Southern Hebrides. Situated on the west coast near Islay, it's the eighth-largest island in Scotland, yet it's sparsely inhabited. Around 200 people share this untamed space with a staggering population of 6000 deer, creating a unique blend of untouched nature and wildlife.
The Isle of Jura is known for a few key things: the Jura whisky distillery, deer stalking, trout fishing, and, of course, its stunning landscapes. Up north, you'll find the treacherous coryvrekkan whirlpools and Barnhill, the former residence of George Orwell where he penned "1984."
In this video, I take you along on my journey to the Isle of Jura. Together with my campervan Ernie, we explore this rugged island, giving you a glimpse of its wild beauty and simple charm.

If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that!

Interesting to see an outside perspective of Jura. I am one of the people who runs tea on the beach, glad you enjoyed the chocolate cake! That's my speciality. Edit: oh, I remember meeting you on the road to Barnhill now, what a surprise to stumble upon this!

George and family had a scary day boating in a weir from the Corryvreckan Whirlpool. He, son, niece and nephew were rescued by a lobster fisherman passing. Search for the more details. We went on the ferry from Stranraer over N. Eire and so on. Hello from west coast Canada!

[@neilmchardy9061]

In 1972 I spent a week on Jura specifically to walk the Paps, at the time there were thousands of adders everywhere went. We were allowed to pitch our tents in the new graveyard at Kells which is a tiny settlement about a mile north of the pub. Sadly the pub was owned by a cockney woman who adhered to the then strict licensing laws in Scotland which meant pubs shut at 10 o’clock. A local was enterprising enough to give us a lift in his van up the north where we visited the Corryvrechan whirlpool but it was so foggy you couldn’t see anything but there were what’s called raised beaches and other interesting geological things to explore. Curiously the distillery was closed and had been for some time, I believe it reopened a few years later. Love the wee travelogue.

[@ruthaisling]

I love Scotland's history, culture, the people but not so much the cold, rain, wind and midges in my older years... However, this gem of a video now makes me want to go back again and stay in Barnhill Farmhouse. I've been a great fan of George Orwell ever since I read Animal Farm and then 1984. Thank you so much.

Loved Jura, been twice on our bikes. The second time a foot passenger was £1 and bikes free, the ferry sailed for our £2 fares. Camped at the Jura Hotel and then cycled to Tea on the Beach and had two rounds of superb tea and cake each sheltering from a storm in the horsebox. Past Lussa Gin (closed that day) and on to the end of the road. Also had the feeling of being the only medieval people on earth when met the cattle grazing the beach.

[@ryudokuroma8184]

Ruth, thanks for the nice report. The closer you get to the north, the clearer the air becomes, but it seems to be a cold area, so alcohol to warm you up is essential. Photo prints are nostalgic, and now most of the photos are gone, but the atmosphere is nice. It is rich in endemic animals, plants and insects, and has a rich sense of life unlike the quiet scenery. The densely packed islands resemble Japan's Goto Islands（五島列島）.

Thank you for taking us to Jura, Ruth. I've often seen The Paps on videos from other islands and wondered what Jura was like.

Nice video, thank you Ruth. I love Jura and have been there a few times, but never by ferry. My friends and I were lucky enough to get a boat ride from Blackmill Bay on the mainland to Kinauchdrach harbour on the NE coast. There is a great route from there to the west coast of the island where you can explore and camp within some incredible cave/gloup complexes before heading south to loch Tarbert and the three Paps. I strongly recommend wild camping, but only for those competent with map and compass and fit enough to carry all your supplies and resulting litter. Only leave your footprints whenever visiting such wild and beautiful places.

Thanks Crawford, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I was surprised also with the midges appearing in the morning!

[@jeffbrunswick5511]

If you are scared of ticks, then I recommend that you avoid walking through ferns or long grass in the summer time. This is where they tend to hang out, as they can easily attach onto a passing deer (or you) when brushed against. A pair of wellington style boots can help keep them off and will also help with walking through boggy terrain. They are small, but you can easily see them. You are unlikely to get a disease if you remove them within an hour of their attachment. Be sure to disinfect the wound afterwards.
