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 new regular car ferry from Mallaig.
