Eigg
Eigg (; (スコットランド・ゲール語:'Eige'), ) is one of the Small Isles, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. It lies to the south of the Skye and to the north of the Ardnamurchan peninsula. Eigg is long from north to south, and east to west. With an area of , it is the second largest of the Small Isles after Rùm. Notably, Eigg generates virtually 100% of its electricity using renewable energy. ==Geography== The main settlement on Eigg is Cleadale, a fertile coastal plain in the north west. It is known for its quartz beach, called the "singing sands" (''Tràigh a' Bhìgeil'') on account of the squeaking noise it makes if walked on when dry. The centre of the island is a moorland plateau, rising to at An Sgurr, a dramatic stump of pitchstone, sheer on three sides. Walkers who complete the easy scramble to the top in good weather are rewarded with spectacular views all round of Mull, Coll, Muck, the Outer Hebrides, Rùm, Skye, and the mountains of Lochaber on the mainland.
