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.

WHO AM I?
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!
P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
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!
I remember meeting you on the walk. Your chocolate cake was SO good!
@KingJellyfishII your enterprise is very fondly remembered by us on one of our many summer holidays to Islay and Jura -absolutely perfect tea and cake seated with the stags grazing around us, whilst overlooking the sun-kissed Inverlussa beach. Blissful! greetings from Grampian 🫖🍰👍🏻🖐🏻
@@freeforester1717 Glad you enjoyed it!
Hopefully I’ll have some of your yummy cake at tea on the beach.I’ll be staying on Jura this June 2024
@@viktorialangton5942 Hope you have a good time in jura! Unfortunately the horse box which we usually run tea on the beach from is currently unsafe, and so I don't know if we'll be able to run it this year. We may be temporarily relocating to the distillery at lussa gin, though.
As a big Orwell fan, I'm grateful to Ms. Aisling for taking her viewers to the author's writing refuge for a look.
I'm happy to hear that and glad you enjoyed it!
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!
love the videos, think this may be the 1 and only channel i dont skip the sponsored segment. ENjoying all your whisky videos, cheers from Inverness!
Glad you like them, really appreciate you watching! Thanks!
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.
Thanks for sharing about your trip there Neil, what great memories!
She sounds a real pain in the neck, a jobsworth.
Thousands? That seems like a bit much, we barely see any south of tarbert
スコットランドにはまだジュラ島みたいな大自然が残ってるんですね、凄い🤩車を運転しててもすれ違う車が一台も無いのにはびっくり😲Rush-san ジュラ島を独り占めて羨ましいな、マダニは鹿に寄生していますから触らないのが賢明ですよ、ドローンの操縦も日本で覚えたのですね、先生はShota-san, Hahaha😄ますますスコットランドに行きたくなりましたよ、チャンネル登録者もたくさん増えてきましたね、Shota-sanもYou tubeでRushを応援よろしくと言ってたした、ありがたいですね😍今回も楽しませてもらいました、次回も楽しみに待ってます、頑張れRush-san👊😆🎵
道路はとても静かだった！
ドローンは上達しているけど、スコットランドは風が強いから、いつも飛ばせるわけじゃないんだ(笑)
応援ありがとう！
Thanks for this introduction to an island I did not know existed in Scotland. Loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've been quite happy sitting in the comfort of my home, discovering and sometimes revisiting parts of Scotland, my favourite place on Earth, through your brilliant videos. 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.
Thanks so much, really glad you're enjoying the videos!
Great video Ruth! I love the drone shots of the landscape and the wonderful wildlife segments with the deer. The video shot from Ernie as you drive down the narrow roads is also wonderful to watch.
Thank you for watching David, I'm happy to har you like the drone shots and driving videos!
Great video Ruth! I really enjoyed all the historical information you talked about. Love the stories of George Orwell. Such beautiful island! Thanks for such a wonderful tour!❤
Thanks so much!
Hi Ruth, yes love your videos, and keep them coming, I was born in Scotland, Buckie was as far north as I visited, moved to Canada when I was 31 yrs old, now on Vancouver Island.
The breathtaking views, rugged terrain, and unique wildlife showcased in this video truly highlight the raw beauty of nature.
It felt like such a wild place!
Great video Ruth, love the isolation and views of the islands. Quite envious!
Thanks!
Dry interesting video. Thanks for taking me along!
Looks so beautiful. The scenery is really brought to life by the wonderful photography.
Thank you Mark!
Thank You for a showing of Jura! Incredible place.
Thankyou Ruth for your videos regards Mike
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.
Thank you Ruth.
Just amazing.
In response to your question yes i would live there in Barnhill & on Jura.
Your channel is an absolute must for van lifers & Scottish travel information.😊
Thanks Sean! Maybe you’d write the next world famous novel 🙂
Hey Ruth, a lovely video, and island. Thanks for bringing us along !
Thanks for watching!
Amazing video, informative, and with your lovely commentary, a great Sunday viewing ❤
Thank you so much!
Thanks for taking us with you Ruth. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely to see you enjoying the Islands of Scotland i was born at Bunnabhabhain in Islay in 1960 looking onto the paps of Jura every day i can shut my eyes and can see them and have wonderful childhood memories and can also remember the deer swimming from Jura to Islay
What a lovely place to grow up! I didn’t realise deer could swim let alone that far, wow!
Outstanding! Such a beautiful Island with so many interesting & fascinating things to see & experience! Including the majestic deer, the breathtaking scenery, the wee tea hut, George Orwell's holiday Cottage & much more! It is so interesting to hear about the Island & the sea & all the details you have shared here! It really is fascinating to see these wonderful remote, wild, places that most folks do not even hear about, let alone, get to see or visit. Thank you for sharing this delightful experience!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ruthaisling My pleasure I'm sure!
It looks amazing! I'll be visiting Islay and Jura in March and found both your videos about those islands helpful and interesting to watch :) your channel is awesome!
Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤
Stumbled on your channel and so pleased I did. A great introduction to Jura, it’s customs and wildlife. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Stuart!
Another excellent blog Ruth. Jura is easily my favourite. We did hike to the end of the path and we were rewarded with an awesome show from the whirlpools. It's a tough old hike at the end, very wet and not well defined - it certainly tests your map skills 😁
Where to next I wonder .. 👍
Amazing, that's great to hear you made it to the end, how much longer time wise did it take you to hike after Barnhill?
Thank you for your videos! It is a great that you bring rural Scotland to people in rural West Texas!!
Thanks for watching all the way from rural Texas, I'm very curious what it's like there!
@@ruthaisling We are in the Panhandle of Texas where it is mainly flat farmland but we have the best sunrises and sunsets imaginable! It is a great place but Scotland is definitely on my bucket list! Continue your videos and adventures on life in Scotland!
14:30 小道のわだちに、小さな平らな石を敷き詰めているよね。ここに住んでいる人たちは、この土地が好きで大切にしているんだろうなあ。スコットランドに行ってみたい。
いつかスコットランドを訪れてください。
Excellent video production as always. Top job.
I appreciate that!
Another place to put on my bucket list, especially the distillery... thank you xx
A wonderful video of this amazing island - thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it! Such a stunning island 😻
Hello Ruth, I have just subscribed. In fact I am following you in France on your travels. I live there. Today I have taken a step back to an older video of yours. Lovely Jura. Shame about the midges in Scotland, a well know fact. Be careful with ticks you can get Lime disease from a bite.
Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks Ruth great video. Please keep the great work going.
Thanks for watching!
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）.
Yes so much fresh air, it was amazing! I never made it to the Goto Islands, I would love to spend some more time in Kyushu someday!
Wow, how have I just found this? I spent my childhood hols in this neck o’ the woods and this evokes so many memories ❤ great vid 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
That sounds amazing, definitely a more wild experience on the island that what I had!
Another really interesting video. I've read all Orwell's works over the years so a real bonus to see his house on Jura. Great work Ruth.
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I need to start reading some of his books now! Which is your favourite?
@@ruthaisling Animal Farm is a classic and easy to read and, despite its serious purpose, amusing at times. My favourite quote is "Two legs bad, four legs good" - (might be the other round to be fair!)
The west coast of the north half of Jura is stunning, raised beaches, caves. arches , waterfalls. Hard walking but well worth it.
A reason to go back!
Hi Ruth, wow, what a tour of Jura, a real wilderness. I liked the addition of the 198 to the 4 miles on the sign. A trucker friend of mine stopped for a toilet break in the middle of nowhere when he went to the side of the truck to "go" on the grass there were a couple of adders basking on the grass. The fuel is very reasonable for somewhere so far from civilisation. looking forward to the next episode.
Haha yes the 198 edition was funny! Your friend must have got such a fright!
Glad I came across your channel. Entertaining and informative videos with high quality footage throughout, kudos from Norway!
Thank you so much, I'd love to visit Norway sometime!
Great video. I live in the Ashdown Forest in Sussex. We have adders - we are mainly heathland. so we have lizards, adders, slow worms and grass snakes and lots of fallow deer.
Oh wow lizards! I never knew there were lizards in the UK!
Paps of Jura are just impressive !
Beautiful and interesting, thank you Ruth...My parents were Scottish and while I grew up in South Africa, I have always regarded Scotland and her people to be my people too...I love your clear, concise Scawtish uccent ;) lassie , I have subscribed and look forward to more classy videos of this nature, Thank you :) XX
Thank you for your lovely comment! Appreciate it
I'm just glad that you are doing fine in Scotland. Hope to see your Vlog more! がんばってね！
Thanks for watching!
Very beautiful. Thank you. Stay well and be safe.
Thanks, you too!
Ruth!
BAPPAしよーたの時から10歳の子供と見てました。
今日あなたのチャンネルを見つけて、久しぶりにあなたの元気な笑顔を見ることが出来て
息子と喜んでます！これからも頑張って下さい！応援してます。
たまに日本語を話してくれたら嬉しいです☺️
Ruthの日本語は可愛くて大好きでした！
ご声援ありがとうございました！
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. So beautiful, but I know from living in Canada 🇨🇦: where there are deer, there will be ticks. Here on the Pacific coast of course we also know that where there are deer, there will be cougar! That's something you don't have to watch out for in Scotland! Just adders and midges, I guess.
Thanks for watching! Wow, I’ve never seen a cougar before, do they attack?
Yes, come to canada i take thee to rge north see polar bear, grizzly moose@ruthaisling
I've always wanted to see George Orwell's house. Thanks.
Jura whisky has been my favorite ever since visiting Wales. Definitely a bucket list destination. Thank you for finding the Jura distillery.
You need to go there!
Another great video Ruth, I certainly would love to visit this island as it looks so nice.
You should..It is very special!
Beautiful scenery outstanding filming. What a wonderful place to go and immerse yourself with mother nature.❤
It really is a beautiful place!
Thanks for bringing me back to my numerous holydays on Jura in the 90's & 2000's , camping on Corran Sands .
For a " big dreamer " , what a better place ?
Walked by Barnhill ( Winston & Julia not there ! ) to a little bit farther than Kinuachdrachd ;
climbed Corra Bhein ;
visited the bottom of Loch Tarbert by Eilean An Easbuig ...............
healing Island !
Sounds like some lovely times you’ve had there!
I could 100% live at that "cabin". Thanks for sharing, Ruth!
Thank you for your videos - you are wonderful as a proxy guide to these fantastic places. Proud to call Scotland my home.
I’m proud too and I love to show the beautiful places!
@@ruthaisling
Famtastic energy another great vid ruth
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video Ruth.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful. I miss Scotland so much.
Please visit again soon
毎回素晴らしい‼️自然！いつ鹿が出てくるか楽しみに見てましたよ。
車の前に飛び出してこなくてよかったですね。
ルースさんは勇気があります。素敵❤次の動画たのしてます。
ありがとう。時々鹿が車の前を走ってくることがあります。注意が必要です！
I remember reading Orwell's "1984" as part of an English class assignment my sophmore year [USA grade 10] in high school [1965]. What a TOTAL treat to see the house that novel was written in! I just discovered your YT channel Ms. Aisling and I'm thoroughly enjoying your videos! Thank you for sharing your journey. Be well - many blessings! Cheers...
Thank you Ross!
Hi Ruth What a fabulous video with fantastic drone footage. As a very long exiled West Coast Scot I did not realise the midge would be around so early in the morning. |n my day the did not appear until the early evening! Jura is quite stunning to say the least and the only bit of Jura I have encountered is having a wee dram of Jura supplied in an attractive tin case. I look forward to your further videos. Kind regards Crawford
Thanks Crawford, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I was surprised also with the midges appearing in the morning!
😊, absolutely smashing, Thankyou Ruth ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great video thanks!! We spent a week in Islay last year and popped over to Jura for a day and just fell in LOVE, it is so peaceful, so stunning and just magical, really magical. We had lunch at Antlers (lovely staff and food!) and just explored. We loved it so much we had to go back at the end of the week for another visit. I would love to go back. It also has a very exclusive golf course/hotel called Ardfin, you may need quite a lot of money to play & it looks rather difficult/challenging! Great video of your trip to Jura. It is a special island and well worth a visit!
Thank you for watching and nice to hear you had such a good time there!
人間が最低限にしか手をいれない自然ですね、たいへん美しい風景と思います。スコットランドの人の美学とか思想を感じます。
今後、スコッチウィスキーを飲むとこういった風景が浮かんできそうです。あと、最近カメラワークとても良いと思います。😄
素敵なコメントをありがとうございます！動画を楽しんでいただき、スコットランドを体験していただければ幸いです。
cant believe ive just stumbled across this video, just started planning my trip to jura, thank you so much for this
That's great, I hope you have an amazing time there!
I used to live in Wigan, where George Orwell stayed for a while researching for 'The Road To Wigan Pier'. One of the old Pier buildings is named after him and I used to enjoy visiting the pub. He certainly got around back in the day :) Beautiful island.
It sounds like he did!
You are so great. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
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.
videos like this make me proud be scottish thanks for sharing hope you enjoyed 🏴👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Beautiful video, beautiful Scotland
It really is!
Outstanding video, thank you.😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. Jura is now on my bucket list. Best wishes from Michigan, USA.
You definitely need to visit!
Fantastic video. Never thought of visiting but will do now
Thank you! Enjoy your trip there!
There's a yearly Paps of Jura race. Went through the Correyvreckan whirlpool on Waverley paddle steamer in May and it was fairly lively. Calmac dont sail to Jura , its Highland council that runs the ferry.
A lovely lost world.very refreshing vlog.thx😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Just discovered your channel and have really enjoyed these videos of Islay and Jura. Thanks for sharing. From Cape Town, South Africa . 🇿🇦
Thank you very much for watching all the way from South Africa!
Love Scotland and everytime I have hiked there it's always been awesome and magical. Great video really enjoyed it take care 👍
That sounds amazing Chris! Thanks for watching!
@@ruthaisling look forward to more great videos, greeting from the Netherlands 👍
Beautiful baps!
Superb video and amazing scenery. Yes I could live there on my own or with others. Be safe.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I recall seeing Islay and the Paps of Jura on my drive from Inverrary on the way to the Mull of Kintyre....I live on the Outer Banks of North Carolina which are somewhat like the Outer Hebrides...
Cool video. Watching the auto-generated CC subtitles wrestle with her Scots burr was also quite amusing..
Oh no haha!
Hello Ruth mick from really enjoyed this episode where you was it looked very lovely place and I will look forward to your next episode xx😊😊
Thanks so much
@@ruthaisling you are very welcome xx
スコットランドといってもいろいろあるんだなー。
想像以上にスコットランドは広いなー。
これからも楽しみにしています。
Ruth, you're the best!
Thanks! 😂
I very much appreciate your attention to detail when giving us information. Giving us the price of gasoline and diesel both in pounds and US dollars. I like the little drawing of the car going around the island so I can easily see which direction your going. Things like that just help to visualize being there . And I’ve enjoyed a number of your videos and will continue to do so. But thank you very much.
Thank you Kathy, I'm really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. I always find it annoying when watching videos and can't understand the prices haha, so I like to add prices from the countries where most viewers come from!
Love the shots!
With ticks, you can also use grease or Vaseline on them. Just cost them well and they won’t be able to breath, and just back out. My dogs get ticks on them ALL the time!
Thanks for the tips!
I had no idea George Orwell wrote "1984" and recover TB over there, very interesting. But, I can see that would be a great place to write a novel / spend time with someone really pretty with a cute accent. Upgrade that little cottage with more power, etc / T1 line. lol
I stumbled across this vlog, I enjoyed your bubbly presentation, I love Scotland, wow the isolation on Jura is fantastic, was great to see the Orwell house, a great vlog. I shall watch some of your Scotish island series, for me the area around Eyemouth is my favourite part of Scotland, when i was at Uni i drove up from Sheffield to Stirling to visit a girlfriend at the Uni there and fell in love with Scotland, i even tried haggis n neeps, and white pudding 😅
Thank you Chris, glad you enjoyed the video! I’ll need to visit Eyemouth sometime
Absolutely Beautiful!
Nice, thanks!
My gold DofE practice expedition was on jura, awesome sunsets on the west coast and wilds of the northern tip.
Don't remember midges being all that bad but the ticks were ravenous.
Closest scotland has come to a wild bear in recent centuries was when one known as Hercules escaped from a film set and had a few weeks of freedom.
Wow, what a great place for a DoE hike. Didn't know about the bear, thanks for sharing!
You take us to the most beautiful places! Yes, I could live there. New subscriber here, and I'm absolutely loving every video! Have a lovely, beautiful adventures kind of week.
Thanks for subscribing! Hope you enjoy the other videos.
The adder you show in the video is probably Vipera berus, also known as the common European adder and the common European viper - in the family of adders. So there are other species also called adder in that family. The UK, like Belgium and the Netherlands, may only have Vipera berus, but one or more other species can be found in Europe, still.
For example, a look-alike if you don't pay attention, in France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, and Switzerland, you may bump into when there is Vipera aspis (asp, asp viper, European asp, aspic viper, 5 subspecies). A bite from this species can be more severe than from V. berus and is very painful. According to Stemmler (1971), about 4% of all untreated bites are fatal. Responsible for 90% of all cases of snakebite in Italy and it is the only mortal snake in Italian mountains. (parts from Wiki)
Late on seeing this post. A fascinating trip to a place that is truly 'out of the way'. Your enjoyable narrative is quite informative. Finding tea and cakes along the way is a treat. I'm with you in choosing a piece of the chocolate cake. Yum. Thanks for this post. I'm a new subscriber. I've got some catching up to do.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for subscribing!
Ruth
hello
I've been watching it on CZcams since I was in Japan.
Shota was introducing Ruth's CZcams, so I came to play and registered
Thank you for your continued fun travel videos.
I'm rooting for you from the sky in Japan
good luck.
Thank you so much for being a long-time supporter, I really appreciate it!
Great video. I’ve been to Scotland and found many similarities to the Maritimes in Canada, especially Nova Scotia and Cape Breton in particular. Lots of Scottish immigrants here. The second largest whirlpool in the world is actually in my home province of New Brunswick in Canada. It’s called the “old sow.”
The Appalachian mountains and coast of New England and up to Newfoundland and Labrador are part of the same ancient mountain chain as the Scotland highlands. That would explain the similarity.
Thanks for sharing! It seems like the lists online all rank them as different sizes! Sorry for the mistake 😂. Have you ever done a boat trip there?
@@ruthaisling you can see the “old sow” from the ferry to Campobello Island. The whirlpool however is tide dependent, and I have not really witnessed it on my several trips over there.
Another great video.
I live in North Northumberland at Cornhill on Tweed.
I go walking in the Cheviot Hills.
It's Dodge the Adders up there in the summer if your wanting to see any😂😂
Oh yikes 😳
You have made the Isle of Jura a must see adventure for me as I was intrigued that George Orwell wrote 1984 here, in this remote house in the middle of nowhere . You asked, could any of your follower’s live here ?” I would find it FAR too remote and FAR too lonely as I am very gregarious . Although I live alone , I live within walking distance of several friends , AND I have all sorts of bakeries , cafes and grocery stores within walking distance in my village of Dundas. I love that this isle has a distillery ….the Jura Distillery ….and that you found a lovely place to buy treats on the honour system . You have such a gift of drawing your viewers into your journey , as if we are walking along with you . Warmest regards , Mary 🇨🇦
Thanks Mary, where you live sounds really nice!
Jura looks like a lovely place to explore. I'd really like to visit someday. Ruth you are living a life I envy. And I'm enjoying travel vicariously thru you and your wonderful videos.
You should visit! Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you for sharing…very interesting
Thanks for watching!
Nice one Lass.
