Summary
Goats in Jura.
There are both black and white goats in Ardfin. There is an example of a Jura goat in a museum in Edinburgh. There used to be a lot of goats on Eilean nan Gobhar, an island off Jura. People milked them, and ate their meat also. Goats would be kept in the byre with the cattle. Their smell stopped the cows casting their calves.
A song was composed about the Campbells stealing a goat from the MacLeans.
