		Eigg, however, offers some potential here amongst the many rock shelters concealed in the boulder screes beneath the cliffs on the east coast of the island, some of which have substantial shell middens spreading out from their entrances.
		Eigg has the remains of a church, outside which there stands a cross shaft of 14th- or 15th-century date, and there is a possible medieval chapel in the burial-ground on Muck.
		On Eigg, 140 people elected to emigrate in 1843 and, ten years later, Laig and Grulin (roughly the western half of the island) were let for sheep and the Grulin crofters were evicted.

	Ships Of Calmac - History of: Eigg
		EIGG served the people of Raasay for just under a year until January 1976 when she was replaced by the seventh sister; CANNA.
		The EIGG made her association to the island known to all when the top of her wheelhouse was adorned with a sign denoting that she was indeed the ‘Lismore Ferry’.
		EIGG has remained the main ferry for Lismore since 1999, although she does still maintain her Class IIA certificate and so can be seen from time to time providing extra sailings to Craignure as required.

		The escarpment marks the transition zone between volcanic Precambrian rocks that underlie a plateau to the south, and softer sedimentary rocks beneath the coastal lowlands.

		The protection of Eigg Mountain - James River is supported by the Eastern Mainland Field Naturalists, Pictou County Naturalists, Nova Scotia Salmon Association, Nova Scotia Bird Society, the Town of Antigonish, and the Municipality of Pictou County.
