Eigg

Eigg sits in Highland, Scotland as one of the Small Isles in the Inner Hebrides, known for its dramatic geology and wild scenery. The island is dominated by the dark, craggy pitchstone ridge of An Sgùrr, with sandy bays such as Laig Bay, abundant seabirds and marine life, and a patchwork of croftland that frames spectacular coastal views.

What makes Eigg particularly interesting is its strong community spirit: it is community‑owned and has become a model of small‑island self‑management, with a pioneering renewable energy system, ongoing crofting and fishing, growing eco‑tourism and a lively cultural life that draws on Gaelic heritage and local arts. The combination of conservation, low‑impact living and grassroots regeneration gives the island a distinctive social and economic character.
