Ramsay MacMahon a鈥� tadhal air 脤le agus Di霉ra. Ramsay MacMahon escapes Glasgow for the weekend and heads to Islay and Jura.

Agus abair gu bheil fhios aigesan d猫 na cuairtean deireadh-sheachdain is fhe脿rr: an-diugh tha e a鈥� se貌ladh gu 脤le is Di霉ra. Leis a鈥� bhaidhseagal agus na p脿rdagan l脿n uidheam campachaidh, tha e a鈥� cuir suas an teant san 脿ite is b貌idhche. An uairsin le deise-fliuch, tha e feuchainn beagan d脿ibhidh san tanalach 鈥� agus d矛reach eagal 鈥檚 gun gabh e fuachd, a鈥� feuchainn blasad de dh鈥檜isge-beatha an eilein.

C貌ig mionaidean air an aiseag a-null gu Di霉ra an ath latha, agus deagh chnap c猫ic na bhroinn mus t猫id e mach gu cuairt-shruth a鈥� Choire Bhreacain. Tha leumadairean a鈥� leantail an eathair, agus far na mara ch矛 Ramsay an taigh san do chuir Se貌ras Orwell cr矛och air an nobhail 1984.

In his guide to the ultimate weekend away Ramsay travels to Islay and Jura. Taking his trusty bike and panniers full of camping gear he pitches his tent in the most spectacular coastal location. Wetsuit on to brave Hebridean water, he goes snorkelling in Islay鈥檚 crystal clear turquoise sea. To warm him up he samples some of the island鈥檚 most famous produce: whisky.

The next day Ramsay hops on the five-minute ferry to Jura. Here he dines on cake at a self-service caf茅 on the beach and takes a trip out to the Corryvreckan. On his trip to the infamous whirlpool the boat is followed by dolphins and they pass the house in which George Orwell completed his novel 1984.
