Lets talk about deer.... 
During our last trip to Jura I noticed that the Deer were very approachable. We got a few of them standing only two meters away from the car and they weren't bothered at all. Wonderful animals and I took some amazing pictures of them, which I will post later on. We also spotted a low flying Hen Harrier just in front of us and...... two Golden Eagles flying high over the Paps. Magnificent 
When we visited Jura we were also amazed at how calm the deer were at us driving past... a group (herd?) of them stood and posed for photos before wandering off; another group just ignored us!
We were also lucky to see an eagle... in fact at one point it seemed to be tracking us until it disappeared over a hill to the east of us!

Hi Bruce the link does not work by me. 
Sorry about that... I've been changing my site and the picture has moved... anyway, here it is:
The Deer on Jura are amazing... I took this picture when the deer was only 6 feet away from the car, not being bothered at all
That reminds me of a deer myself and Linda saw the first time we drove through Glen Etive... it ran across the road in front of us and, once it reached the other side, turned round and posed for a couple of photos! I suppose the deer there, as on Jura, aren't used to cars so don't react as some might if they get too close! Then again, its not uncommon to see deer right at the side of the road as you cross Rannoch Moor - and the cars there are going a LOT faster!

The Maggie is one of Ealing studios lesser known comedies. A wily old skipper of a Western Isles 'Puffer' and his motley crew lead all who come into contact with them a fine old time! Many scenes on Islay!
... 1 distillery
Of course there is a lot more to Islay's closest neighbour than that! There's the scenery, the whisky, the history, the whisky, the history, the whisky... need I say more?
Islay... the gateway to JURA!
