The Isle of Eigg is one of the four Small Isles. Five miles long by three miles wide, Eigg lies 12 miles off Mallaig on Scotland’s west coast, just south of the Isle of Skye. Eigg has a fascinating history, superb wildlife and a vibrant community.
The island is owned by the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust who have managed it on behalf of the community since the community buyout of 1997.
