Its population had remained below 100 for the last 50 years, barely enough to sustain a community. The last laird, Marlin Eckhard-Maruma, was declared bankrupt in 1996. In the following year, the 63 remaining inhabitants were able to buy the island through a specially created Trust. Since 1997, some vitality and sense of purpose has returned to the small island community. Old houses are undergoing renovation and new ones being built. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
