Scotland s Eccentric Isle of Eigg

Scotland’s Eccentric Isle of Eigg “If you’re going to get sick, be sure it’s on a Wednesday,” my Isle of Eigg tour guide/driver Brian Greene said. “That’s the day the doctor arrives by ferry from Skye.” Greene was filling in for Charlie Galli, this Scottish island’s usual taxi driver (and only source of public transportation), who was stuck on the mainland for a week awaiting space for his van on the ferry to return home. So Greene, who has lived on this 3-mile by 6-mile Inner Hebrides island since 1979, had volunteered his car to drive my husband, Carl, and me on the single-track road around this gorgeous green area, affectionately dubbed the “People’s Republic of Eigg” by its population of 109.

Why you should visit the UK s greenest, most eccentric island

Why you should visit the UK s greenest, most eccentric island After voluntarily pulling up the drawbridge for a year, Eigg is now welcoming (responsible) visitors The Inner Hebrides island of Eigg impresses with its green credentials and community spirit Credit: Getty Sailing around Ardnamurchan Point, with the melancholy strains of Mendelsohn’s Hebrides overture tugging at your heart, it’s easy to get caught up in the lost world romance of Eigg, a deeply wild archipelago. Yes, many of the Hebrides now lie dead to man, but right in front of you hope emerges. Defiant, Eigg-shaped hope. This is an island reborn, following a community buyout that became the first in the world to draw all its electricity from green energy. After voluntarily pulling up the drawbridge for an entire year, Eigg is now tentatively welcoming responsible visitors back to share its remarkable, life-affirming charms.
