Where is the Island of Jura?
Jura is at the southern end of the Inner Hebrides and is one of the best kept secrets in Scotland!
Few have heard of Jura and it is well off the beaten track since there are no through routes. Despite this, transport links are good and quite varied, 
although the main links are through the Island of Islay, our southerly, and much better known, neighbour.
Jura has a regular vehicle ferry to Islay whch operates from 07:35 on weekdays and runs regularly until 18:30. Thereafter two late ferries can be booked, given appropriate notice, one at 21:30 and one at 23:00.
Islay is served by a twice daily vehicle ferry, operated by CalMac, running between Kennacraig, at the head of the Kintyre Peninsula, and alternating between the two Islay ports, Port Ellen and Port Askaig. Port askaig is also the link for the Jura ferry.
In summer additional ferries are run and there are links to Oban and Colonsay.
There is a twice daily, return air service from Glasgow Airport to Islay, operated by Flybe on behalf of British Airways.
During the summer months, Jura is also served by a fast passenger boat, known locally as "The RIB", which runs between Craighouse and Tayvallich twice a day, which provides a very quick crossing to the mainland. Bicycles can be carried on this vessel so it is ideal for those who do not wish to bring a car. Braeside is only five minutes from the pier in Craighouse where the Rib docks!
In short, we are remote enough to make life extremely pleasant and stress free, but close enough to be able to access all the amenities!
