Any cool Jura excursion recommendations?

I plan to visit the Jura distillery one day (in August), but know nothing else about the island. I'm reading that it's more rugged than Islay, though, and known for the wildlife?

Any recommendations for a wildlife tour? Preferably not too long so that I can end at the distillery :-)

I was sceptical if there would be such a thing, but a bit of digging gives-

(on a personal note it is lovely to see Alex now running tours, for many years the family ran the island public bus service very well before the contract was given to Garelochead Coaches on an underbid, how an outside company underbid islanders is a mystery and was a travesty of justice). Garelochhead do a good job, I'm not criticising them in the slightest. At least, unlike on Mull, there wasn't a bus war when a similar thing happened there and at one stage three competing companies ran on identical timetables- the old island company, the contract winner and another unsuccessful tenderer. On Jura Alex bowed out gracefully.

I'm not a tours kind of person, so I'm not recommending as such, just passing on what I can find.
