Isle of Islay

Islay and Jura Separated only by the Sound of Islay, half a mile wide (ferry between Port Askaig and Feolin in Jura), these two islands may well be regarded as one by tourists.

Islay is the larger of the two. being nearly 25 miles from north to south and almost 20 across at the widest part. Port Ellen is the commercial capital of Islay..Islay and Jura Separated only by the Sound of Islay, half a mile wide (ferry between Port Askaig and Feolin in Jura), these two islands may well be regarded as one by tourists.

Islay is the larger of the two. being nearly 25 miles from north to south and almost 20 across at the widest part. Port Ellen is the commercial capital of Islay.. Southward from the village the coast rises terminating in the Mull of Oa a grand viewpoint. Inland from Port Ellen a bus service runs to Bowmore (Sea View Lochside, Imperial), a small village on the shore of Loch Indaal, which penetrates far into the south coast of the island. Thence the road continues round the loch past Bridgend and Uiskentuie beyond which a turning on the right leads to Kilchoman Church. with a fine cross and a reminder of wartime in the memorial to those who perished in the Otranto collision in October, 1918. Islay has another such memory: near Port Charlotte (hotel) on the western shore of Loch Indaal. were buried troops from the USA drowned when the Tuscinia was torpedoed in February, 1918.

The most southwesterly village on Islay is the little hamlet of Portnahaven west of Rhinns Point, whence a road runs up the west coast to Kilchoman. From Bridgend the road to Port Askaig hotel goes off northward. The village is principally of importance as one of the links between Islay and the mainland and the termination of the ferry to Jura. At different points of the island remarkable examples of ancient Celtic gravestone sculpture can be seen.

Islay is a noted whisky distilling area.

The wild, inhospitable shore of Jura is well known to those sailing through the Sound of Jura. The island is nearly 30 miles long and in places nearly 9 miles across. But for a neck of low-lying ground about midway, Jura would be two islands, for Loch Tarbert penetrates the west coast to within a mile of the eastern shore. A road from Feolin runs round the southern end of the island and as far up the east coast as this otherwise the island is almost trackless. The most distinctive features are, of course, the 'Paps' rising some 2,571 feet and accessible from Feolin. On the Atlantic side lie remarkable raised beachs and numerous caves.

Westward from Jura is another pair of islands separated only by a narrow gult Colonsay and Oronsay, renowned at one time for cheese-making. In this ease it is the northern island which is the more populated. The coast of both islands is deeply indented: here indeed one feels oneself 'at the edge of beyond'.

On Oronsay, to which one can cross dryshod at low tide, are the ruins of a fourteenth century Priory with a finely sculptured sixteenth-century cross and here in 1882 was found the grave of a Viking, buried in his ship and with his horse beside him. Oronsay is known to botanists as the haunt of the extremely rare Lady’s tresses orchis. The sandy beach of Kiloran Bay affords wonderful bathing when the weather is propitious. At the north end of Jura is the whirlpool of Corrievreckan, through which the waters swirl and boil as they pass between Jura Scarba.
