They obviously relished being un-getatable. In the pub, the night before I went home, my suggestion that a bridge might one day be built across the narrow channel between their island and Islay elicited a reaction of mild horror from Diurachs. Considering that the only other place on the island in which to do so is the Antlers Bistro along the road, prices were reasonable. All but the most parsimonious campers use the bar for eating and drinking. Allowing people to camp in the hotel garden for a wee charge might appear uncharacteristic behaviour for a famously “thrifty” race such as the Scots (I’m allowed to say this as I’m Scottish), but it actually makes sound commercial sense. This admirable establishment is the Jura Hotel in Craighouse. Situated directly in front of the hotel, it provides a safe, comfortable and sheltered tent-only camping environment, with easy access to a modern toilet. In these recession blighted times, what better holiday accommodation could you wish for than a hotel that lets you camp in its garden for a modest fee. Fortunately someone else did, David Ross to be precise, and he wrote a nice travel report about his camping trip on Jura. I myself do not holiday in a tent so I have not had the pleasure of using Jura’s campsite and can therefore not share any of my experiences.

The Isle of Jura doesn’t have an official campsite, at least not in the way you and I expect one to be: A reserved space with numbered pitches, places to park a motorhome, a shower building, a reception etc etc.
