The Paps of Jura, Argyll

Paps of Jura

The Paps of Jura are three mountains on the western side of island of Jura in Argyll's Inner Hebrides. Their highest point is 2,575 feet on Beinn an Òir‎.

Though there are three mountains, postcard photographs invariably show just two, which may be the exigencies of the photo frame but more probably to emphasise the delightful shape which gives them their name.

The Paps are conspicuous hills which dominate the island landscape and can be seen from the Mull of Kintyre and, on a clear day, from Skye and County Antrim. (Read more)
