Reddit mentions of Eigg: the Story of An Island

My wife's family is from the isle of Eigg. Such a cool little island. I read a history of the island a few years back. The land is now held in trust, which means it's basically owned by the few inhabitants rather than a Laird, like much of Scotland.

My wife's great great grandfather was the island blacksmith and helped build an illegal pot still. According to the book, it's still there but buried. When my kids are old enough, I'm going to dig that mother fucker up.
