The Isle of Islay and the Isle of Jura are home to some of the world’s best whisky and some of the UK’s most wild landscapes.
In a region called the ‘whisky coast’, you can be sure to love these isles if you’re a fan of the barley-bree. Other than 9 working distilleries just on Islay, the two islands are known for their amazing seafood, wildlife, and some of the most dramatic landscapes in the whole of Scotland. The Isle was so isolated and inspiring, in fact, it’s where George Orwell went to write his famous novel, 1984. We’re not saying you’ll write a book, but we do think a self-catering holiday on Islay and Jura will be pretty peaceful.
