The dramatic history of Eigg is inscribed in its landscape. We are the keepers, the tradition-bearers, and the bards of the future.
- Traces and voices of the past: from prehistory to present day*, we share the archaeology, influence, and stories of those who live and have lived and toiled here
- Landscape & legend: Gaelic and Norse placenames tell of a land steeped in stories and full of folklore.
- Island of powerful women: nuns, goddesses, water spirits, the power behind the buyout.
- Voice of the present – our musicians, ceilidhs, sessions, concerts, writers, craftspeople and creatives enliven and enrich our island community today as they have for centuries.
