In 2018 a new business hub opened in Craighouse consisting of four units adjacent to the community petrol pumps. These currently house three local businesses - a photography gallery, Deer Island rum distillery, and a craft shop - as well as the local bus garage. 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. [60] Both are small batch, locally owned distilleries. Five electric vehicle charging points are available on Jura. One at the whisky distillery, two in the Village Hall Carpark and two at the commercial units towards the pier, adjacent to the petrol / diesel pumps. Beinn an Òir (Gaelic: 'mountain of gold') is the highest, standing at 785 metres (2,575 ft), [17] and is thereby a Corbett.Ardfin: situated at the southern tip of the island, between Feolin and Craighouse. For some 70 years from 1938, Ardfin belonged to the Riley-Smith family, brewers from Tadcaster in Yorkshire. In 2010 the estate was bought by Greg Coffey, an Australian hedge fund manager, [44] and since 2011 its ownership has been with Ardfin Lodge Ltd of Jersey. [45] The famous walled garden of Jura House, which had previously been a noted horticultural asset and popular tourist attraction, was permanently closed to the public. Having also wound up the estate's farm, Greg Coffey then submitted proposals for the construction of a private 18-hole golf course on the estate. 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. [46] The course was completed in 2018 and opened in 2019. [47] The hotel was due to open at Easter 2020 [48] but the opening has been delayed. Census records show that Jura's population peaked at 1,312 in 1831, [4] and that, in common with many areas of western Scotland, the island's population declined steadily over the ensuing decades. However, there has been a small increase since 2001. [28] During the decade from 2001 to 2011 Scottish island populations as a whole grew by 4% to 103,702. [29] Alongside the long-term decline in Jura's population has been a decline in the number of Gaelic speakers. The 1881 census reported that 86.6% of 946 inhabitants spoke Gaelic. In 1961, for the first time less than half (46.9%) spoke the language and by 2001, this figure had dropped to 10.6%. [ citation needed] From Islay there are ferry connections to Kennacraig, Colonsay and Oban (all operated by Caledonian MacBrayne) and a seasonal connection to Ballycastle in Northern Ireland (from Port Ellen). Flights from Islay airport also offer connections to Glasgow Airport via Loganair and to Oban and Colonsay via Hebridean Air Services. [65]
