ISLANDERS at one of Scotland’s most iconic community buyouts will on Monday celebrate the completion of a 10-year project to open a new community and visitor hub.
The buyout was one of highest-profile community takeovers in Scotland, when 65 residents succeeded in taking control, after a rich history of colourful and controversial landlords such as Keith Schellenberg and the German artist Maruma.The redeveloped centre includes a larger grocery shop, a much bigger cafe and bar with amazing views, a craft shop and a base for Eigg Adventures. The first floor houses offices, hot-desking facilities and a meeting room.
“Eigg is bucking the trend of depopulation with the population having doubled since 1997 and a growing number of young people returning to or choosing to settle here. Having a fantastic facility like An Laimhrig will ensure we can keep on serving our community and visitors alike for the next 25 years.”
She added: “We have been extremely fortunate to work with strong partners to deliver the project and specific thanks must go to WT Architecture, Morham & Brotchie, Fiona Begg and of course our contractors Compass Construction and Building Services.”“An Laimhrig is an exciting example of a project with the needs of the community at its heart,” he said.
