Scottish anchorages

Jura

The last anchorage on the north east coast of Jura, and the very last house too. It must take the owners well over an hour to drive down to Craighouse, in part over an unmetalled road. The most obvious thing to do here is to walk to the north tip of Jura and inspect the Gulf of Corryvreckan before having a go at it by boat.  Of course the best time to look (and listen) is in a storm, and the best time to sail through is when it is calm. On the walk you will see deer and rabbits. Around the anchorage there is loads of bird song and in the anchorage there are loads of seals. It seems quite safe notwithstanding the rather unnerving sound of the tide racing by less than 100 metres away; certainly not the place to drag an anchor, or let the children loose in the dinghy. And you can walk down to Barnhill - see the Kinuachdrachd anchorage.
