Jura Origin Scotch Whisky, 20 cl

Product Information

Beginning in the later 18th century, long before the notorious Highland Clearances of the following century, there were several waves of emigration from Jura. In 1767, fifty people left for Canada, and from then the population fluctuated, rising to a peak of 1,312 in 1831, before gradually shrinking to its 20th century level of just a few hundred. Mercer notes [27] that although relatively few forced clearances on Jura were recorded, the emigrations were due to factors such as hunger and spiralling rents. During the summer the island has a direct passenger ferry link between Craighouse on Jura and Tayvalllich on the Scottish mainland. [64] This service is run by the community.

At Westminster, Jura is represented as part of a constituency also called Argyll and Bute, which is held by Brendan O'Hara, also of the SNP.

The former territory of Dal Riata acquired the geographic description Argyle (now Argyll): the Gaelic coast.

The kingdom thrived for a few centuries, and formed a springboard for Christianisation of the mainland. It is believed that Jura may have been Hinba, the island to which the 6th-century missionary, Columba, retreated from the monastic community he founded on Iona, when he wished for a more contemplative life.

Throughout the year the MV Eilean Dhiura runs a regular service between Feolin on Jura and Port Askaig on Islay, with frequent sailings from 7.30am to 6.30pm Mon-Sat and a reduced Sunday schedule. This service is run by Argyll and Bute Council. In 2018 a new business hub opened in Craighouse consisting of four units adjacent to the community petrol pumps. These currently house three local businesses - a photography gallery, Deer Island rum distillery, and a craft shop - as well as the local bus garage. If you’re looking for any remaining bottles at your store, look for the box emblazoned with a triskele – a triple spiral that actually fits into Celtic tradition, as opposed to the Egyptian hieroglyph-like symbols on other bottles. Jura previously indicated that the triskele is the Celtic symbol for birth and beginnings. History aside, I’ve preferred to see the symbol as representing the cyclical nature of the world, which seems fitting as Origin apparently enters its waning days.These hills were the subject of William McTaggart's 1902 painting The Paps of Jura, [19] displayed in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. [20] History edit Early years edit A Neolithic monument at Tarbert Jura is also noted for its bird life, and especially for its raptors, including buzzards, golden eagles, white-tailed eagles and hen harriers. [67] Since 2010 Jura has been designated by NatureScot as a Special Protection Area for golden eagles. [69] Like many other parts of the Hebrides and western Scotland, the shores of Jura are frequented by grey seals, and the elusive otter is also relatively common here, as is the adder, the UK's only venomous snake. [67] The seas around Jura form part of the Inner Hebrides and the Minches Special Area of Conservation due to their importance for Harbour porpoises. [70] Literary accounts edit Dál Riata was ultimately destroyed when Vikings invaded, and established their own domain, spreading more extensively over the islands north and west of the mainland, including Jura. This became the Kingdom of the Isles, but following the unification of Norway, the islands were under tenuous Norwegian authority, somewhat resisted by local rulers, like Godred Crovan. Following Godred's death, the local population resisted Norway's choice of replacement, causing Magnus, the Norwegian king, to launch a military campaign to assert his authority. In 1098, under pressure from Magnus, the king of Scotland quitclaimed to him all sovereign authority over the isles. [ citation needed]

harmonyrowbc (24 October 2017). "Captain Campbell of Jura (1880-1971)". Glasgow's Benefactors . Retrieved 16 October 2019. Jura is featured in the plot of the 2003 novel A Question of Blood by Ian Rankin, and the 2007 novel The Careful Use of Compliments by the Scottish writer Alexander McCall Smith, and is a setting for some of the narrative and action in Anne Michaels' 2008 novel The Winter Vault. The island is the setting for the novel Burning Down George Orwell's House, by Andrew Ervin. In music, Jura is the subject of the first two movements ('Summer Sea' and 'The Paps of Jura') of the Hebridean Suite (1947) for cello and piano by Scottish composer Marie Dare. [77] Jura is mentioned in a song by R. Kennedy and D. MacDonald, recorded in 1997 by JCB with Jerry Holland on the album A Trip to Cape Breton; "The Bens of Jura", a song by Capercaillie; and "Isle of Jura", a song by Skyclad. The UK band Mekons recorded an album on the island in 2015 and called it 'Jura'. Evidence of settlements on Jura dating from the Mesolithic period was first uncovered by the English archaeologist John Mercer in the 1960s. [21] There is a Neolithic chambered cairn at Poll a' Cheo in the southwest of the island. [22] Ruantallain: immediately north of Loch Tarbert. Ruantallain had been a part of the Tarbert Estate, until its sale in 1984. It is owned by businessman Lindsay Bury, [52] who is a former president of the influential wildlife charity Flora and Fauna International. The island is dominated by three steep-sided conical quartzite mountains on its western side, the Paps of Jura, which rise to 785 metres (2,575 ft). [17] The term "pap" is often used for a breast-shaped hill. There are three major peaks:In 2015 a new distillery was established in Ardlussa at the north of the island, producing Lussa Gin, [59] and in 2021 the island's first rum distillery opened in Craighouse producing Deer Island Rum. [60] Both are small batch, locally owned distilleries. Still owned by the Fletcher family who had rented it to Orwell, the four bedroom Barnhill house is available for rent but is somewhat primitive for this era. A generator supplies electricity, the small refrigerator is gas-powered and heat is provided by a coal-fired Rayburn. [39] The original look and feel of the house has been retained. "If you stay here, you're really treading in Orwell's footsteps. He would recognise the place instantly if he were to step through the door today," Orwell Society member Damaris Fletcher told The Guardian. [40] Government and politics edit Census records show that Jura's population peaked at 1,312 in 1831, [4] and that, in common with many areas of western Scotland, the island's population declined steadily over the ensuing decades. However, there has been a small increase since 2001. [28] During the decade from 2001 to 2011 Scottish island populations as a whole grew by 4% to 103,702. [29] Alongside the long-term decline in Jura's population has been a decline in the number of Gaelic speakers. The 1881 census reported that 86.6% of 946 inhabitants spoke Gaelic. In 1961, for the first time less than half (46.9%) spoke the language and by 2001, this figure had dropped to 10.6%.

Jura Origin 10-Year-Old - The Whiskey Wash Whisky Review: Jura Origin 10-Year-Old - The Whiskey Wash

After his death, nominal Norwegian authority was re-established, but de facto authority was split between Somerled's sons and the Crovan dynasty. Somerled's son Dougall received the part of Jura north of Loch Tarbert (along with adjacent islands further north), while Dougal's nephew Donald received the rest of Jura, as well as Islay, and lands to the east. It is unclear why Jura was split like this, but it may have been connected to a dispute with Donald's other uncle, Angus, who Donald and his brother had ultimately dispossessed. [ citation needed] In 1390, Donald Macdonald, Lord of the Isles, granted the MacLeans the lands of northern Jura (the lands which had belonged to the MacInnes). The MacLeans established a castle in Glen Garrisdale, as a stronghold, which they named Aros Castle, like one of their castles elsewhere. [ citation needed] Like all inhabited Hebridean islands, Jura has its own indigenous tradition of Gaelic song and poetry. [74] [75] Since 1993 it has also been the home of the Jura Music Festival, [76] which takes place annually in September.Beinn a' Chaolais (Gaelic: 'mountain of the kyle') is the lowest of the Paps, reaching 733 metres (2,405 ft).
