Eigg
Eigg:
The Story of an Island Eigg, one of the islands of the Inner
Hebrides off the West coast of Scotland, has an interesting
history. Following the ownership battle for the island in 1997,
this text tells the story of Eigg, from its earliest inhabitants
to the present, detailing its recently-acquired independence
and community ownership. The book draws extensively on oral
history from the islanders themselves and from local archives,
with stories of clans, pastimes, wartime, childhood and crofting.
