Beginning in the later 18th century, long before the notorious Highland Clearances of the following century, there were several waves of emigration from Jura.Yet even under the old brand that included Origin, Jura gave out little information about the process they use to create it, as a trip in the Wayback Machine shows. There is certainly a je ne sais quoi to a whisky with a history and the Jura Origin 10 year old is a perfect example of this. A private track runs from the road end to the far north of the island (no vehicle access to the general public). The distillery was transformed from being derelict in 1963 to what it is today, in effect the backbone of an island’s economy and a 196-strong community. In financial terms, the Jura distillery was the largest, and it was also the biggest individual employer, but the island's seven estates, taken together, employed the most full- and part-time staff.

Beinn a' Chaolais (Gaelic: 'mountain of the kyle') is the lowest of the Paps, reaching 733 metres (2,405 ft). John of Islay, the head of the MacDonald family married the heir of the MacRory family, thereby acquiring the remaining share of Somerled's realm, and transforming it into the Lordship of the Isles, which lasted for over a century. North of Craighouse are a number of other small settlements on or near the east coast: Keils, Knockrome, Ardfernal, Lagg, Tarbert, Ardlussa (home of Lussa Gin) and Inverlussa. The connection between the Campbell family of landowners and lairds and Jura ended in 1938 with the sale of Jura House and its surrounding land, Ardfin Estate.Somerled built the sea fortress of Claig Castle on an island at the southern tip of Jura, establishing control of the Sound of Islay; on account of the Corryvreckan whirlpool, this essentially gave him control of the sea traffic between the Scottish mainland and the Hebrides. In 2015 a new distillery was established in Ardlussa at the north of the island, producing Lussa Gin, [59] and in 2021 the island's first rum distillery opened in Craighouse producing Deer Island Rum. The nephew rowed them to Eilean Mòr, where the boat overturned as they were disembarking; the group was rescued by the crew of a lobster boat. The original Jura House was extended and modernised, and the former farm buildings were converted into an elite luxury hotel for the use of visiting golfers.
