Three women from very different backgrounds were drawn to the island – and have distilled their wisdom into gin
London, explains, “I first came to Jura in 1991 as a wired 23-year-old on a random weekend to film a video for a band called The KLF.
“And as much as it was lust at first sight for the local 19-year-old who drove me around the island and later became my husband, it was love at first sight for the island. I’d never been to a landscape so raw and so wild.
“Alicia (MacInnes) is originally from Australia with a head for figures and finance. She came travelling to Scotland just over 10 years ago and met a local Jura boy whom she later married.
“Georgina (Kitching), a science teacher from Dorset, bought a house on Jura after her husband got the job as the High School physics teacher on neighbouring Islay a decade ago.”
The families all settled in Jura’s Lussa Glen, joining the population of circa 200 people and 6000 deer.
