Hi if you email the hotel on their website they are very helpful and will provide a quote for you. They have been very nice to contact and make arrangements with. Search for the Jura hotel. Hope this helps janet

Hi DLM, I am not sure if this question is still open, since you said you'd be in Scotland this month (surprised nobody has answered for almost a year), but I will send you a quick answer anyhow. The best way is to take the Calmac ferry from Kennacraig to Islay (there are several sailings each day, Cannot post the link, but google Calmac for info), and then the Feolin ferry at Port Askaig (you have to buy the tickets as you cross, go for an open return as you will be staying the night). You can (actually have to) explore much of Jura on foot, as there is only one road (the Long Road), which goes from Feolin on the west coast to one of the estates in the north (Inverlussa I believe, but not sure). If you want to explore the island there is a hiker's guide for sale at the hotel for 3 pounds, which has some very nice routes (plan at least 8 hours for a trip to the paps and be aware that it is deer culling time). Depending on when your flight arrives it may be tough to catch the ferries, as Kennacraig is about 2 1/2 hours driving from Glasgow (but it is a beautiful drive, up the west coast of Loch Lomond and then along Loch Fyne), and you need to check in half an hour before the ferry departs. It may be different with flights from the US, but you should consider spending a night on the mainland (for example in Inveraray or Lochgilphead) and then taking a morning ferry to Islay. Spend some time exploring Islay before heading over to Jura in the early afternoon. Then take an afternoon / evening sailing back to the mainland on the next day. Hope this is not too late, and of course I also hope it is helpful :)
