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.
