After a social media hiatus I'm back!!

May is Bluebell month and they are spectacular all over the island just now.

My e-bikes and bikes are a great way to explore the island - taking in the flora and fauna as you go

Last week we formally opened the fantastic new An Laimhrig community hub and friend of Eigg Adventures, Jonathan Wheeler (Eye Scotland), was here to make a brilliant wee film about it. He braved the wet weather that day on one of my lightweight e-bikes... and enjoyed himself so much he came back 2 days later for another e-bike!! Give the film a watch and if you enjoy it as much as I did let him know with a like/comment.

Not often you walk out the door and see this directly above your head with the naked eye!! A special night to just lie down in the grass and forget the fact you didn't have a tripod 🙃

A proud day for Eigg and testament to the hard work of many dedicated folk over the last decade... and indeed the last 27 years. Eigg Adventures are thriving due to the opportunities provided by a modern and progressive workspace.
We stand on the shoulders of giants, and tomorrow we will raise a glass to their vision and determination to succeed in the face of adversity.

The Isle of Eigg is the second largest of the Small Isles. Its most notable feature is the famous 'Sgurr', a distinctively shaped ridge of pitchstone, which reaches a height of 1290ft above sea level.

Our first sailing of the season will be Friday 29th March - and then after that we'll be sailing every Wednesday and Saturday. Additional sailings will be introduced on Tuesdays and Fridays from May, and Mondays from June.

The crossing to Eigg takes approximately one hour, although it can take longer when there are good sightings of whales, dolphins or basking sharks. There's so much to see and do on Eigg, in the time you have ashore which is 5 hours on Mondays/Wednesdays/Saturday and 3 hours on Tuesdays/Fridays.

Our ferry - MV Sheerwater will land at Galmisdale Pier where you will find the wonderful Galmisdale Bay Cafe & Bar Isle of Eigg Shop and Eigg Adventures.

Just further up from here start some of the stunning walks the island has to offer, including the route to climb the Sgurr. It takes approximately two hours to the summit and affords spectacular views over the other Small Isles. Other things to do include a visit to the Isle of Eigg Brewery and Eigg Tree Nursery

Approximately one mile south of the old pier lies two caves. Cathedral cave was once used for Roman catholic services. The cave of Francis is known as the Massacre Cave. In the 16th century, there was an ongoing feud between the MacDonalds and the MacLeods. The entire population of Eigg (c400) perished when the MacLeods lit a fire at the entrance to the cave where the islanders were hiding.

The road to the other side of the island is about 4 ½ miles and you can make this journey on foot, hire a mountain bike from Eigg adventures or call for the local taxi (Charlie on 01687 482404). Just north of Laig Bay is the famous Singing Sands, which is formed from quartz and emit a squeaking sound when walked on.
