Welcome to the website that features the "Isle of Jura"!
Everything from people to wildlife is presented and discussed on this
website. Produced by the Feolin Centre, a not-for-profit research
company
located on the island, the goal of this website is to provide
information and
news about the island and its activities that are hard to find through
"normal" media channels. So if you're interested in the
island where George Orwell wrote "1984", the Ardfin Gardens, local
whisky production, legends and superstitions, our famous red deer or
the Paps
of Jura, this is the place.
This website is not supported by any commercial, governmental or
religious organisation. It simply endeavours to disseminate information
about
matters concerning the island that other websites do not provide.....So,
welcome to a free speech zone!
