Phoning

The area code for all Islay and Jura numbers is 01496. If you are calling from overseas you dial the international code for the UK and omit the leading zero.

So the number 810 000 on islay, from mainland UK becomes 01496 810 000

For example – from Germany it becomes 0044 1496 810 000 and from the USA it becomes 01144 1496 810 000
