DL5AWI worked this expedition during the IOTA-contest 2006. The portable location was Grulin Uachdrach near Galmisdale. QSL-manager was MM0DFV and the card I received via the german bureau.
The Isle of Eigg is one of the most beautiful Inner Hebridean Islands, lying 10 miles off the Scottish west coast, south of the Isle of Skye. The island has a fascinating history, superb wildlife and birdlife and a temperate maritime climate.In the year 1840 the fossilized remains of a 180-million-year-old Plesiosaur were discovered in shales found in the northeast corner of the island.
Eigg is 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) long from north to south, and 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east to west, with an area of 12 square miles (31 qkm).
