A collection of images and descriptions of life on Jura - from 18th century engravings of sheilings, to black and white photgraphs of working life in the early 20th century. Images include photographs of:

• the people of Jura in their day to day lives
• the crofting communities of Keils and Lagg
• the ferry arriving in Craighouse
• Jura distillery.

Extract

'In former centuries travellers to Jura left a valuable record of life on the island and due to their writings and talent with pen and paintbrush we know much about how our ancestors lived. In recent times visitors with cameras have captured more accurate records. The islanders too have recorded intimate details of the fabric of social heritage in the form of simple family photographs...

We hope this book will bring pleasure to all who love Jura and that those whose ancestors left the island during the last century will appreciate this glimpse into the past and never forget the beautiful island which is their ancestoral home.'
