• standing stones
• agriculture and wildlife
• burials and burial places
• whisky and the distillery.

Extract

This booklet has been written in response to requests by many visitors to Jura from more information about the island - the ruined castles, the standing stones, the iron-age forts, the ancient burial grounds, the deserted villages, and the wilderness of a place that once supported some 1500 people but now only just over 200. This booklet is a mixture of history, folklore and general information - all of which are often inextricably linked together.
