This is the first major book to be written about one of the largest of the Inner Hebridean islands, and covers subjects ranging from the island’s wildlife and its people, to the Church, education and crofting.
The barrenness of Jura’s landscape has meant that it has always had a smaller population than its neighbours, and was often overlooked in the affairs of the times. However, Jura had its part to play through the centuries, and, perhaps partly because of its isolation, it has a fascinating story to tell of Campbell domination, of the hardships endured by its people, and of its contribution to emigration.
