Why the Isle of Eigg hatched a plan to grow its own trees. The island’s nursery — currently running a “putting down roots” crowdfunder — is growing tens of thousands of native trees to create a sustainable supply of wood for fuel and to support natural habitats www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/eiggtreenu...

Wow! We're blown away by the support since our launch - thank you to all who've donated so far. This funding will help us put down roots - allowing our Tree Nursery to grow more trees year on year. Now, we're looking to raise £24,000 to grow the trunk. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/eiggtreenu...

TREE-mendously EIGG-citing. You're no April fool, you know a great Crowdfunder appeal when you see one! Launches today. PLEASE SUPPORT crowdfunder.co.uk/p/eiggtreenu...

More #seaweed from holiday. Gutweed (Ulva intestinalis) is green #alga (plant) often dominating upper-shore #rockpools. Looks a mess out of water, but underwater it's otherworldly: jungle of thin, intestinal tubes, bubbling with oxygen by-product of photosynthesis. Near Morar and on Eigg, Scotland.

Continuing theme of #seaweed from Scottish holiday: this is sea oak (Halidrys siliquosa). Another brown #alga (not plant) common on British shores. #Rockpool specialist: here creating small 'forest' in large pool at Camusdarach. Note snakelocks #anemone (Anemonia viridis) riding high on one branch.

#TheAlphabetChallenge #MforMemories Rum from Eigg 2018. The last holiday before my lungs kicked off, when I was running the most I ever had. This was taken on my long run, on a gloriously sunny morning, not long before I got lost amongst a field of cattle.

Another lovely geology day in the Hebrides. An Sgùrr on Eigg is magic combination of a highly satisfying walk, amazing scenery and a cracking geological detective story (complete with smoking gun).

Every time I tried to write about Eigg, I wrote about John the Bird. This piece gets at why: what one person can do if they truly know and love a place. You can read it in Paperboats Zine Issue 5, paperboats.org/2025/04/09/t... along with some other beautiful pieces 🌍💚 @paperboatswriters.bsky.social
