Scottish anchorages

Even though it is incredibly close, Jura is extraordinarily different to Islay - far more mountainous and wild, and far fewer people - about 200, and only one distillery. And the beaches are not so good, mostly grey sand. Two anchorages in particular stand out for their remoteness, even though this is still 'only' the Inner Hebrides - Loch Tarbert, a long and intricate loch on the west coast, and Bagh Gleann nam Muc just off the Correyvreckan at the north west tip. The island has a strong sense of community, maybe because there are not that many holiday homes - yet. There is rather a good blog to keep an eye on, Jura Jottings comes out every month on paper and it has a website too, and the Jura Development Trust also has an informative website.
