            Eigg and Easdale are part of the Hebridean islands, which lie off the West coast of Scotland. Eigg features beautiful moors, beaches composed of white quartz and historic ruins that include Iron Age forts, Viking burial mounds and more. At less than a mile in length, Easdale is the smallest permanently inhabited island of the Inner Hebrides.
