More #seaweed from holiday. Gutweed (Ulva intestinalis) is green #alga (plant) often dominating upper-shore #rockpools. Looks a mess out of water, but underwater it's otherworldly: jungle of thin, intestinal tubes, bubbling with oxygen by-product of photosynthesis. Near Morar and on Eigg, Scotland.

Professor Alex Sanmark and Dr Shane McLeod from the UHI Institute for Northern Studies, Viking and Early Medieval Studies, headed to the Scottish island of Eigg on September 18, 2025, to organise two days of work with The Isle of Eigg Guiding Company. institutefornorthernstudies.com/2025/09/23/u...

On a rather stormy crossing to the Island of Eigg for the @thinkuhi.bsky.social Tourism Knowledge Exchange Program , Dr Alex Sanmark and Dr Shane McLeod were escorted by some rather unexpected friends.

Rum and Eigg from Muck

#TheAlphabetChallenge #MforMemories Rum from Eigg 2018. The last holiday before my lungs kicked off, when I was running the most I ever had. This was taken on my long run, on a gloriously sunny morning, not long before I got lost amongst a field of cattle.

Another lovely geology day in the Hebrides. An Sgùrr on Eigg is magic combination of a highly satisfying walk, amazing scenery and a cracking geological detective story (complete with smoking gun).

🔋 50kW/75kWh battery system to Knoydart maxing efficiency of the hydro scheme & generators, results in 20% water conservation by providing frequency response with clean back up power. 🚗 Off-grid DC chargers on Eigg that divert excess solar to EVs and stabilise the grid using fast frequency response

Pastel Eigg I - Sailean Dubh, Ardtoe, #Ardnamurchan Sunsets at Ardtoe at this time of year can be quite special. Here’s an image captured on a beautiful May evening, when the last light from the sun painted the sky above the Isle of Eigg, out to the west of Ardtoe, with glorious pastel colours.

Beyond the Channel – Loch Moidart, Ardmolich, #Moidart Another sunset view of the Isle of Eigg. This time with An Sgùrr sitting beyond the hillsides that form the North Channel of Loch Moidart, all silhouetted against the orange sky of dusk.

Sunset over Isle of Rum from a beautiful croft last week in Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Highlands of Scotland

Fabulous trip navigating the coastal waters of Rum, Eigg and Muck by sea kayak & wild camping. Exhilarating but also felt grief & loss for nature and wildlife of the natural world and their struggle for survival in face of human greed #treadlightly #respecthenaturalworld @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social

Every time I tried to write about Eigg, I wrote about John the Bird. This piece gets at why: what one person can do if they truly know and love a place. You can read it in Paperboats Zine Issue 5, paperboats.org/2025/04/09/t... along with some other beautiful pieces 🌍💚 @paperboatswriters.bsky.social

Sunset on Spring - Kentra Bay, #Ardnamurchan The sun setting on the very last day of spring from a couple of years ago, creating an orange backdrop to the silhouettes the Small Isles of Eigg and Rùm, viewed out beyond the entrance to Kentra Bay.

28 years ago they said it would fail... we beg to differ 😎 Come and see some of Eigg's groundbreaking projects and enjoy our famous hospitality as we celebrate 28 years of #CommunityOwnership😊 isleofeigg.org/2025/05/2025...

It's a Happy Easter #Eigg from us! #scotland #walking #gay #queer #lgbti

It might be a damp end to the Easter weekend but it hasn't stopped us from Eiggsploring! #scotland #eigg #gay #queer #lgbti

Excited to launch the Natural Capital Community Partnerships project at our member Stow Community Trust’s building today www.heraldscotland.com/news/2511136...

Eigg's crofters & Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust have been exploring how #communityownership can strengthen & grow #crofting. Read @epybus.bsky.social report on how collaboration & support can secure Eigg's crofting future bit.ly/FutureCroft @scottishlandcom.bsky.social @communitylandsc.bsky.social

These Arisaig sunsets just keep on giving - looking towards An Sgurr on Eigg

Trip out West, what a sunset over the Sgurr on Eigg. #sunset #islands

Early morning An Sgurr, Isle of Eigg. #westcoast

These Arisaig sunsets are mind blowing – Eigg and Rum, plus crystal clear seas abounding with life. Perfect in every way imaginable

Our team has been hard at work installing the UK’s first off-grid supporting DC EV chargers (that we know of! 😉) on the stunning Isle of Eigg in Scotland! We’re now diverting surplus renewable energy to EVs, stabilizing the grid using fast frequency response, and reducing diesel reliance!

Examples like Eigg show us that community ownership can be successful and tackle depopulation in the Highlands & Islands, but they are not common enough. The Land Reform Bill can support this - I voted for it today at Stage 1 and hope it is strengthened before Stage 3 👇

Today is the last day you can see "Where We Stand" in the #ScottishBorders at Stow Town Hall. Open 10-4.00, part of this series of events looking at land ownership, community activism and empowerment. "Trusting People to be Wild" streams from Eigg, April 8th. www.thenational.scot/news/2504800...
