Tigh an Sithean is located in Cleadale, around 4 miles from the main pier, with Laig Bay and the famous Singing Sands both within walking distance. The Island of Eigg, known for its outstanding beauty, is one of the small Isles comprising Eigg, Muck, Rum and Canna, and is the closest to the mainland of Scotland. The island was bought in 1997 by the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, a partnership between the residents of Eigg, the Highland Council, and the Scottish Wildlife Trust at the time. It has an active community and is served by both a seasonal ferry from Arisaig and a regular car ferry from Mallaig. Facilities at the main pier include a tearoom/bar, craft shop and well stocked general store at 'Am Laimhrig', as well as a modern shower/washing building and a multi occupancy small business unit. The well-used Eigg Community Hall is a short walk from the pier. The island also benefits from a doctor's surgery at the Small Isles Medical Practice and a nursery/primary school. The island itself, with its distinctive Sgurr Ridge, is dotted with sandy beaches and is a haven for wildlife, while the surrounding waters harbour seals, porpoises and dolphins.
