Inverlussa: a boat moored on the bridge A small boat is moored from the railings of the bridge which carries the road to the few houses in the hamlet. The Lussa River nears its journey's end just behind us as it enters the sea at Lussa Bay.

Inverlussa: the village from across the Lussa River Looking towards the heart of Inverlussa - really just a handful of houses - across the Lussa River as it reaches Lussa Bay and thus the end of its journey. It is a rather low tide so one can happily meander across the sand of the bay.

Inverlussa: towards the phone box from across the river A view across the Lussa River at Inverlussa. Opposite is a red telephone box, suggesting that the adjacent house was once the post office. This supposition is confirmed by a local, although it was not the final location of the post office. Inverlussa Post Office was opened on 1 July 1947 (at the time - it seems impossible to believe nowadays - this was the third post office on Jura) at the pictured premises, and the telephone box is thus alongside. The post office subsequently moved to one of the terraced houses out of shot to the right; it closed on 1 October 1984.

Inverlussa: postbox № PA60 1 and telephone box One of the remotest places from which to communicate, either telephonically or postally, this is the northernmost postbox on the island of Jura. It stands outside the cottages of which one was the post office before it closed in 1984 (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5074264">NR6486 : Inverlussa: towards the phone box from across the river</a> for more discussion). The collection times of the six postboxes on the island get gradually later as one travels north, so this one has the latest time - 4pm on weekdays. However, as explained by the asterisks on the information plate, it has already missed the boat by then so items are not dispatched until the next working day.

Inverlussa: two deer cross the road These two deer were in the trees on the left and presumably were unsettled by the sound of my car - luckily I had seen them from the previous corner and half expected them to dash off.
