Isle Of Eigg
Nature Centres & Reserves
Overview
Three areas on Eigg are established as wildlife reserves.One is the ridge of the Sgurr and the moorland between it and the north-west coast. Atlantic gales prune the vegetation here.
The second reserve comprises the slopes below the cliffs edging the Beinne Bhuide plateau, which are largely covered with hazel scrub, a type of woodland that has existed on Eigg for thousands of years.
The third and smallest reserve includes willow and hazel scrub, and the largest extent of raised bog on the island, in lower Gleann Charadil.
The Isle of Eigg is kidney shaped, 5 miles by 3 miles. A population of less than 100. Very popular with walkers, ornithologists and botanists. A prominent feature being the Sgurr,a massive rock formation.
Sixteen miles from the nearest mainland town, Mallaig. Ferries for foot passengers only from Mallaig and Arisaig. Accommodation is available on the island.
