The Isle of Jura

Isle of Jura

The Isle of Jura, instantly conjures up the sound of melodious pan pipes in the sea air and promises of adventure.

This old distillery turned guest lodge in Scotland – looks like something out of a Christmas fairytale – the nutcracker perhaps, regal yet childlike. Infact the owner who also runs the whisky distillery of the same name has cleverly created a lodge for visitors that has an invented past.

The scene is set around the character of Aunt Martha, a passionate woman who loved to travel and would have inherited this house time of Queen Victoria. She decorated the lodge with original furniture and souvenirs from her travels.

Isn’t it simply perfect in it’s eccentricity and modernity? I love the placing of playful props like the large circus drum and white soliders armour holding a pic-nic basket! Rea dmore about the whisky distillery here.
