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!
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!
@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 🫖🍰👍🏻🖐🏻
@@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.
To me Jura is Paradise. We lived here for a few years during Covid and it was wonderful. What we really miss are the people more than the setting- an astonishingly high number of top quality people in such a small population
Excellent video Ruth, I had no idea Orwell wrote 1984 on Jura, what an amazing isolated location. Very glad I found your lovely channel, such genuine enthusiasm and wonder! I love that even when splashed with muddy water or attacked by a swarm of midges, your good humour always wins the day in your videos! (Still I imagine you have a quiet curse & compose yourself before filming!) Your composition, editing work & aerial shots are all so well done. Even if unintentionally, you are a terrific cultural ambassador for Scotland, many people (the right kind of tourist) will be inspired to visit these places you portray with such affection and sensitivity. Wishing you good luck in your pursuit of otters, love from HK!
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! American “Oil brat” who had lived in Aberdeen 1975-1980. Very fond memories, particularly of the people. Beautiful country but the weather would leave anyone with PTSD😂. Still, the people made it worth it.
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.
I love watching your videos, I'm addicted. Getting to see all these amazing places from the comfort of the living room 😂. You are very articulate, informative, brave, and a kind, friendly soul. Well done 👏 😃
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😂😂
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.
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 Ruth for the beautiful scenery, culture, background music, and your lovely calming voice. This emotionally exhausted American has begun my 4 year break from US political news in all formats, in favor of relaxing travel videos, in order to calm my fearful brain and heart for what local and global nightmares are ahead. This is day 3 of my news diet and I already feel more hopeful and relaxed. Many of us who are in the (unfortunately silent) majority here are opening new You Tube accounts to reset our algorithms for beautiful and relaxing videos like yours. I anticipate a growing audience for your calm and informative videos! Scotland is next on our list of vacations. I cannot wait! Thank you so much😊
I started my news diet about 3 years ago and it’s been great. I hope yours goes well. Watching the news always made feel so negative about the world and make me feel anxious. No talk of news or politics on my channel, don’t worry!
Agreed! My wife and I are also taking a long break from media. Much thanks to Ruth for showing us there is still beauty out there. A three- year stay on Jura sounds perfect right now.
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.
That's very interesting. Djur is almost certainly cognate with Tier in German, and deer in English, in its original sense of animal - recall the line from King Lear: "But mice and rats, and such small deer, Have been Tom's food for seven long year"
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!❤
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.
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.
A wonderful tour of this wild and remote Island. I ❤George Orwell's House - perhaps I will be lucky enough to stay there one day. The deer are magnificent. I once spent a memorable evening drinking a bottle of Jura whisky with a new friend, though we were nowhere near Scotland at the time. ❤
Orwell's rented home on Jura is beautiful! When I was in high school in the early '70's, 1984 was required reading. I think I would need a bit of company to live there full time.
Hello Ruth, just wanted to see something relaxing to-day, so what better than to see one of your video's, and at the same time learn something new. Many thanks and best wishes. Andrew.
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)
I go to islay maybe twice a year and have never been to jura despite it making my fave whisky. Really need to go next time but my boyfriend only wants to go to climb the paps and I'm not a climber lol xx
@ruthaisling that's my plan lol. I think we'll bring the inlaws with us and he and his dad will climb and me and his step mum will lunch, drink and read lol. He's from islay so has climbed them before so it shouldn't take that long... lol xx
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.
There is so much beautiful sites in Scotland, if we had the weather then their so many beaches and hikes and camping you can do, you wouldnt want to leave Scotland
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!
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 🇨🇦
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.
I saw an Adder outside my mums house, she lived in the country outside Canterbury, as i was leaving I wondered want on Earth it was, very long, very big, first and only time Ive ever seen one, was just lucky
Yay North Carolina! If you visit the states, you have to visit North Carolina. Amazing Scottish history here and we're all so proud of our Scottish ancestry (Macenil of Barra here!) ! Grandfather Mountain hosts the largest Highland Games in the country, but there are games all throughout the US. I have yet to make it to the Outer Hebrides. 💙🤍💙
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
@@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!
Read many books on all of the islands, when I were a lad. Tried unsuccessfully to move to several. Doubt I shall see them now. Plenty of adders down our way
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.😊
Ruth, a fantastic video as usual. I would stay with you in Orwells cottage. I love Scotland having lived there in the highlands in the early 80s. The Scots are just so friendly.😊
I lived in Grantown-on-Spey, Kingussie Avimore and many other wonderful Scottish highlands towns. Iam British, I have a Scottish mother.. Mc Gregor iam proud of my Scottish heritage. I now live with the Vikings in Denmark. Have you ever considered visiting Viking territory? You’re welcome to visit anytime.😊
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.
I think you may have shown me where my ancestors left from to come to the GOOD OLE USA. A cousin of ours has traced us to the Carolinas. I hate to say it but if I keep watch'n your shows I'm gonna turn into a cry'n wuss. Thanks for this wonderful trip to my homeland. Yet I have to ask What the HELL happened to all the trees? I'm surrounded by trees The place is absolutely astounding in it's beauty but I would go stark raving madder than what I am already. Please accidently drops some acorns somewhere. Please be safe and warm thanks again.
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.
I've just discovered your videos, Ruth, and really enjoy them. Which do you prefer? The solitude of an island like Jura, or more populous places such as the cities of Japan?
The paps of Jura can also be seen from Ardrossan in Ayrshire.....weird as is sounds..a clear day will allow you to see them...A local man told us that he can pick them out in the lovely summer days along the coast..We met him while awaiting the ferry over to Arran....We live on Pender Island, Off Victoria, B.C....Our ferry dock is called.....OTTER Bay...and we are forever seeing them on our local walks over to Shingle Bay..there they are swimming on their backs as they nibble at the catches they make......Hope you see one soon
Just found your videos. We’re doing a trip to the northern and western isles this September. Had already heard of Lusaka Gin and plan to visit. If the weather allows, will take a walk to visit Orwell’s house.
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.
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!
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!

I saw an Adder outside my mums house, she lived in the country outside Canterbury, as i was leaving I wondered want on Earth it was, very long, very big, first and only time Ive ever seen one, was just lucky
Adders are not very long (typically 60 to 80cm). They prefer heathland and moorland. It may have been a grass snake if it was longer than that.
昔から田舎のパブに行って地元の方々と交流をするのが夢の一つです。機会があったら紹介してください。現地の言葉が話せない事と日本人という事で疎外されるのではないかと心配です。😅
今後のビデオでパブを紹介しようと思う！
スコットランドの人たちは、あなたが訪れることを喜んでくれるだろうし、とても歓迎してくれると思うので、どうか心配しないでほしい！
Google翻訳があなたの味方です！
@@ruthaisling ありがとう。😍 希望が出てきます。 フェアフォード、ヘンドン、レイクンヒースなどの航空祭に行きたいですし湖水地方や今回の動画にある様な地方にも行ってみたいですね。夢は広がります。
Yay North Carolina! If you visit the states, you have to visit North Carolina. Amazing Scottish history here and we're all so proud of our Scottish ancestry (Macenil of Barra here!) ! Grandfather Mountain hosts the largest Highland Games in the country, but there are games all throughout the US. I have yet to make it to the Outer Hebrides. 💙🤍💙
You need to plan a trip and go to Barra! Your Highland Games sound great. 👍
Don't forget the 2 legged ones you meet at your local pub .
Amazing video, informative, and with your lovely commentary, a great Sunday viewing ❤
Thank you so much!
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!
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!
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!

Anti-dust mite measures, vacuum cleaner,

Hi, I just like to say, you take some fantastic aerial shots !!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks Ruth great video. Please keep the great work going.
Thanks for watching!
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!
Read many books on all of the islands, when I were a lad. Tried unsuccessfully to move to several. Doubt I shall see them now. Plenty of adders down our way
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 🙂
Ruth, a fantastic video as usual. I would stay with you in Orwells cottage. I love Scotland having lived there in the highlands in the early 80s. The Scots are just so friendly.😊
Glad you enjoyed the video 👍
😊
Thanks for replying 😊
I lived in Grantown-on-Spey, Kingussie Avimore and many other wonderful Scottish highlands towns.
Iam British, I have a Scottish mother.. Mc Gregor iam proud of my Scottish heritage.
I now live with the Vikings in Denmark.
Have you ever considered visiting Viking territory?
You’re welcome to visit anytime.😊
😊
Famtastic energy another great vid ruth
Glad you enjoyed it!
A lovely lost world.very refreshing vlog.thx😊
Glad you enjoyed it
Love your introduction to Jura ... " ... where human influence takes a back seat to the rhymes of the land ..." 🤍
Glad you liked the video about Jura!

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 🙏
Wow what a beautiful place! 14:18 surely it feels like a planet that no one exist
Looks so beautiful. The scenery is really brought to life by the wonderful photography.
Thank you Mark!
Beautiful. I miss Scotland so much.
Please visit again soon
I think you may have shown me where my ancestors left from to come to the GOOD OLE USA. A cousin of ours has traced us to the Carolinas. I hate to say it but if I keep watch'n your shows I'm gonna turn into a cry'n wuss. Thanks for this wonderful trip to my homeland. Yet I have to ask What the HELL happened to all the trees? I'm surrounded by trees The place is absolutely astounding in it's beauty but I would go stark raving madder than what I am already. Please accidently drops some acorns somewhere. Please be safe and warm thanks again.
Wow how interesting. Is there any way for you to check?
_"Getatable"_ ... well that's a new one. Never heard that word before. Thanks for the education Ruth.
Haha, I hadn't heard it before either but I like it!
@@ruthaisling 13:38 ... George Orwell obviously liked using unusual & rarely used words.
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 just discovered your videos, Ruth, and really enjoy them. Which do you prefer? The solitude of an island like Jura, or more populous places such as the cities of Japan?
I like both to be honest but for living I think the countryside!
The paps of Jura can also be seen from Ardrossan in Ayrshire.....weird as is sounds..a clear day will allow you to see them...A local man told us that he can pick them out in the lovely summer days along the coast..We met him while awaiting the ferry over to Arran....We live on Pender Island, Off Victoria, B.C....Our ferry dock is called.....OTTER Bay...and we are forever seeing them on our local walks over to Shingle Bay..there they are swimming on their backs as they nibble at the catches they make......Hope you see one soon
I keep looking 👀 thanks for watching in B.C.
Just found your videos. We’re doing a trip to the northern and western isles this September. Had already heard of Lusaka Gin and plan to visit. If the weather allows, will take a walk to visit Orwell’s house.
Have a fabulous trip!!
ルースさん、げんきなすがたみれてうれしい。
ご協力ありがとうございます。元気です。
I went there last summer with a friend of mine who lives near Falkirk. Its an amazing place. You shuld have gone to the bothy!!
It’s such a beautiful island 👍
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.
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!
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!
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!
