St Columba's church appeal continues!
Support the Restoration of St Columba’s Church
St Columba’s Church has stood at the heart of our community for generations. With your help, we’re working to bring this much-loved building back to life as a warm, welcoming and functional space for everyone on Eigg.
Thanks to generous supporters like you, we’ve already raised £7,000 toward purchasing the church. We've now updated our plans and re-applied to the Scottish Land Fund with a stronger case and a design that respects the church’s historic character while creating more usable space inside, an extension to house all necessary facilities and a stand-alone archive to preserve our heritage for future generations.
But we still have a long way to go. The total cost to restore the building and make it fit for community use is estimated at £400,000.
What your donation will help Solas Eige do right now:
Replace the cement render with breathable lime render to stop damp and preserve the building – with funding support from Historic Environment Scotland.
We urgently need to raise £5,000 to move forward with training to do this work
Every donation brings us closer to saving this historic building and giving it a bright new future.
Please give what you can today – and be part of St Columba’s story.
Thank you for your support!
