Object:
To take all appropriate measures to conserve the natural heritage (being. the flora and fauna, the geological, physiographical and archaeological features, and the natural beauty and amenity) of the. Isle of Eigg for the benefit of the community of the island and the public at large and to promote open public access thereto insofar as this is not detrimental to such conservation.
Operations:
What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:
IEHT was set up to own and manage the Isle of Eigg for the benefit of its residents and to conserve the natural heritage. Houses and farms are leased for long term rent and land has been made available for shared ownership housing to provide more security for residents. Eigg wasn’t connected to the mainland electricity grid so we have installed an island wide, renewable energy system which was a first to combine wind, solar & hydro technologies. This has improved the quality of life here considerably. Various infrastructure projects have provided opportunity for residents to run existing businesses (e.g. Shop & Tearoom) and to start new ones in new well-appointed premises. Management of woodland has included felling areas of Sitka spruce plantation which is processed and sold as firewood. Areas have been re-planted with more suitable native trees and a tree nursery has been created to provide stock from local provenance.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.

If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.
Copyright

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.
