About the Book
The isle of Eigg sits of the north west coast of Scotland. It is an unlikely place for a revolution to take place; but in 1997 it became the first island in Scotland to be owned and controlled by the people who live and work there.
This book records two "incomers"; a young couple from the English Midlands who are building a life on this wonderful island. The are part of a new generation of islanders, free from the control of "lairds" they are responsible for their own futures.
This book is dedicated to all the hard working people of the island and to their collective future.
