Scotland s answer to Cornwall (without the crowds)
George Orwell declared this remote Hebridean outlier as extremely ungetatable

There is something about Jura; there must be. George Orwell declared this remote Hebridean outlier “extremely ungetatable”, but then spent years writing his darkly dystopian Nineteen Eighty-Four here, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty (aka the KLF) torched a cool £1 million there in 1994, and this year Greg Coffey, the retired Australian hedge fund owner, will launch a golf course already hailed not only as one of the best in Scotland, but anywhere.
Not that the population of 6,000 deer takes much notice; on Jura (which means “deer” in Norse) they are more interested in munching on grass in the mountains that frame perhaps the most inspiring and off-the-wall of Scotland’s Inner Hebrides.

Monmouth County historic preservation grants presented during virtual event
The Monmouth County Historical Commission awarded preservation matching grant awards totaling $61,215 for 10 restoration projects at the 2021 Grants Presentation ceremony held virtually on Feb. 22.
“The annual awards ceremony for the Preservation Awards Program looked different this year, but it was still my sincerest honor to present grants to these organizations who have devoted so much to the preservation of historical structures in Monmouth County,” said Monmouth County Commissioner Lillian G. Burry, the liaison to the Historical Commission.
“Monmouth County has a rich history and I commend each of these organizations for their commitment to preserving structures for the next generation to learn from and enjoy,” she said.
