These big, beautiful lumps are the Paps of Jura, on (unsurprisingly) the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides.

Jura's conical hills are closely associated with the Cailleach, Scotland's Winter Goddess and right now much of the country is stuck in her icy grip.

The Cailleach is an ancient, giant, blue hag with one big eye and dark, red teeth.

She rides out each year from her home atop Ben Nevis with eight companions to spread winter around Scotland with a frosty hammer.

Jura is said to be one of the first stops on her annual journey.
She journeys to the north end of the island and washes her great plaid in the Corryvreckan Whirlpool.

It's one of the largest natural whirlpools in the world and the roar can be heard up to 20 miles away.

George Orwell once got too close and was almost dragged to his death!
