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?
I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland. I moved overseas in 2011 and I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in my home country Scotland and I’ve never even visited places like the Scottish Highlands, the Isle of Skye or the NC500.
I am a huge fan of campervan travel and alternative living and while living in Japan, my partner and I converted both a van and a bus into campervans. We explored Japan extensively, sharing our adventures on our two Japanese language KZhead channels. I've spent over 600 nights living in vans, it’s my favourite way to travel due to the incredible freedom, adventure and the affordability.
My campervan is a 2001 Toyota Hiace high roof van. It was originally used by the Royal Mail and then purchased by the previous owner and self-converted into a DIY campervan. Although the van is already converted, in order for it to be an off-grid living van, it requires some campervan DIY, especially when it comes to electrics and plumbing.
On this channel, I’ll be sharing more about this van, any DIY I do, and most importantly sharing my road trip adventures as I finally get to travel my beautiful home country of…. SCOTLAND!

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.

  • 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.

  • There’s a place in Sweden called Djurö, it translates to animal island (djur=animal, ö=island). The Swedish word djur also comes from the old norse word for deer. The pronunciation for Djurö and Jura actually sound kinda similar, definitely related.

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Several years ago I went there on my pushbike and cycled all the way to the northern tip, well past Barnhill. The "road" was horrible to cycle but I made it to a remote house where only a couple, I think they were artists or writers, lived. Some of the outhouses were converted to a very simple bothy where I stayed. I had my camping stove, sleeping bag and all that. Next day I walked to the northern tip to watch the famous maelstrom, though it wasn`t as impressive as I had hoped for, just a very violent current between the islands. There is a nice sandy beach nearby.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 .. 👍

  • 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 🇨🇦

  • 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

  • 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.
