Spirit of Jura book launch: Photo gallery
Spirit of Jura, an anthology bringing together works from the nine writers who have so far been involved in the Jura Malt Whisky Writer Retreat, was launched at Scottish Book Trust on 16th April 2009.
Will Self, Liz Lochhead and John Burnside were our special guests, reading from their contributions to the book and entertaining guests with reflections on their time spent on Jura. Jura Malt Whisky Global Brand Ambassador Willie Tait followed with a hearty toast to the island and the whisky.
