Kayaking The West Coast of Jura
Here's another photo of the peacefulness of kayaking in the Scottish Islands.
This one is taken on a beach on the West Coast of Jura in the Inner Hebrides. The island is 29 miles long and 7 miles wide in places.
The name Jura comes from the Norse words meaning Deer Island and it is one of Scotland's last wildernesses. Today over 6500 deer live on six estates on the island whilst the human population is less than 200.
I like how the kayaks and kayaker in the photograph give a sense of the scale and spaciousness of the landscape.

I hope to make it to Scotland one day. In spite of being Danish and having lived in the UK for three years, I never really made it north. My wife is of Danish/Orcadian heritage... so it's on our "bucket list."
It's a very beautiful place. My partner's from there so we go quite often. I wouldn't want to live there though. Too grey for me. But when the sun comes out, well that's another story! As long as it's not midge season of course!
My ancestry is Scottish and I have quite a longing to go there too Gillian. So I love seeing images of Scotland, particularly the highlands and the islands of the north.
LOVE the lush grass, rocks and mountains, the low lying cloud and the spaciousness of it all, given by the kayaks and kayaker. 🦋
Thanks Ally. Do you know what prt of Scotland our ancestors were from? Or from what clan?
My surname is Cousland and Cousland is a small town apparently close to Edinborough. But I'm attracted to the stone circles and the north. 🦋
Oh my! How beautiful! It looks like you could touch the clouds!
Thanks!
