English essayist and novelist George Orwell is known for novels such as Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. He wrote the latter while living at Barnhill, located on the island of Jura in Scotland. Orwell lived there on and off from 1946 until his death in 1950.
Those wishing to visit Barnhill can also stay there for around £1,000 a week. The owners describe it as: “This isolated farmhouse, still under the ownership of the Fletcher family, is where the celebrated author came to escape the attentions of the London literati and find the peace and quiet he needed to write Nineteen Eighty Four.”
