Isle of Gigha
Our island went into
receivership and islanders came home one day to eviction
notices. The achievements on the Isle of Eigg land trust
were crucial as an example of what could be done. At the
beginning there was no concept of what community
ownership meant. We now have a five-year development
plan around debt repayment, sustainable development,
social infrastructure and the local economy. None of
this would have happened if the community did not own
the island.’
