Paddleboarding in the Bay of Small Isles on Jura is one of the most memorable sessions that we have had in Scotland. We had near on perfect conditions which probably helped a lot! The Bay of Small Isles is along the south eastern coastline of the Isle of Jura in Scotland. Jura is one of the wildest islands in Scotland that is accessible by car or camper. There isn’t a lot in the way of facilities or even roads but I think that’s what makes it so special.

Water Conditions
The Bay of Small isles is overlooked by the dramatic paps of Jura which continuously appeared and disappeared in the clouds as we paddled. As we got closer to the islands we heard a loud splash and discovered we were being watched by a group of curious seals. It was a little difficult to get any footage on them as GoPros don’t tend to offer much in the way of zoom but it was a pretty cool experience! After our paddle we sat in the sun and enjoyed some of the local Lussa Gin. Slanja Va
