Glamping by the Sea Is the Ultimate Hebrides Adventure in Scotland
"A whitewashed farmhouse on Jura where George Orwell, as one of the island’s only residents and grieving the death of his wife, completed Nineteen Eighty‑Four; he later described the island as “un‑get‑at‑able.” The setting’s remoteness — bleak weather, surf, and thin, wind‑blown landscapes — is central to its aura, and its history is threaded through the sea‑stories and legends of the surrounding straits (Orwell and his son once lost their boat in the Corryvreckan and had to swim ashore)." - Leslie Jamison
