This webpage was created by the 2016/2017 Skills for the Future trainees based with Historic Environment Scotland, using the results of the 2001 and 2002 archaeological survey of Eigg, carried out by the former Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland, and from a community engagement project carried out by Historic Environment Scotland in 2016. They are Lewis Matheson, Anna Mayhew, and Niamh Crimmins, and the project manager is Dr Jill de Fresnes. Funded by the Heritage Lottery fund, this nation-wide traineeship is designed to deliver training placements to meet skill shortages in the heritage sector, and to help diversify the workforce.

The authors wish to thank HLF, Historic Environment Scotland, the Isle of Eigg History Society, Ben Cormack of Picarus Photography, Camille Dressler, The School of Scottish Studies, and the Gargunnock Estate Trust. Special thanks also goes to the many Historic Environment Scotland staff who were involved in the creation of this resource, and most importantly to the islanders of Eigg, without whose help and hospitality this could not have been possible.
