Explore Jura from Lagg
Lagg is a beautiful midpoint on Jura’s eastern coast, with the sea, hills, and island road all close at hand. A smaller, quieter beach sits nearby, and the surrounding landscape is ideal for walking, swimming, cycling, wildlife watching, and simply taking in the view. Craighouse, Jura’s main village, is about 8.5 miles south and offers the island’s community shop, hotel, café, restaurant, village hall, medical services, whisky distillery, rum distillery, gallery, craft shop, fuel, and local amenities. Further north, the island opens toward Ardlussa, Barnhill, remote beaches, the Long Road, and some of Jura’s most dramatic scenery. Whether you come for the Paps of Jura, whisky and gin, boat tours, wild swimming, deer, otters, sea eagles, or quiet days by the water, The Old Post Office gives you a peaceful base for experiencing the island at your own pace.
