Islay Jura

About

The Inner Hebridean islands of Islay and Jura are the perfect destinations for a relaxing break. Islay, the most southerly of the Inner Hebrides, is famed for its smoky, single malt whiskies, wintering geese, miles of sandy beaches and friendly locals.

Jura, which takes its name from Old Norse dyr-a (deer island), is a magnificent wild and lonely wilderness with its distinctive triple peaks, the Paps of Jura, attracting hillwalkers and nature lovers alike – the perfect island escape.

Islay & Jura are home to nine world famous malt whisky distilleries – Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Caol Ila, Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich,  Kilchoman (the most recent addition which opened in 2004) – and last, but by no means least, Jura . All the distilleries will happily take visitors on guided tours, ending with the customary complimentary dram
