LIMELIGHT's cargo for Jura was malt in bags. Malt is used in the production of whisky, for which, Jura is well-known.

Jura Scottish Gaelic: Diùra is an island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, adjacent and to the north-east of Islay.
Compared with its fertile and more populous neighbour, Jura is mountainous, bare and infertile, covered largely by vast areas of blanket bog, hence its small population
. In a list of the islands of Scotland ranked by size, Jura comes eighth, whereas ranked by population it comes thirty-first.
It is in the council area of Argyll and Bute.
