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.
