Approaching Craighouse on the Scottish Islands Peaks Race

Jura

Even thoughit is increadibly close, Jura is extraordinarily different to Islay - far more mountainous and wild , and far fewer people - 200, and only one distillery. It has rather a good blog to keep an eye on. 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 anchorages starting with Craighouse - the capital - and going anticlockwise are:
