As Eigg is such a small island, I guess there isn't much else to do on it! ;D

Really great news - and a brilliant endorsement for the community buy out initiative, getting rid of the absentee lairds.

Read on to the history of the fight between two clans, where one lot murdered the other lot, leaving just one old lady resident.

Yep. Done that - and researched much of the clan warfare in the Stewart times. What has that to do with absentee lairds and overdue land reform? The last landowner was an airy-fairy German artist, who'd owned the island for two years. Now the people own their community. One of the benefits of devolution. Now for thos blasted hunting estates....... Whilst the legislation to allow community buy outs was enacted before the reconvention of the Scots Parliament, that body has both endorsed and strengthened the legislation, allowing other buy-outs to take place. The next step will be breaking up the massive shooting estates and returning the artificial landscape they create to a more natural environment.
