Welcome to Erraid!

This tiny Hebridean isle, with its historic lighthouse keepers’ dwellings, has been home to a small and evolving community since 1978.

We choose a way of living that is simple. Living remotely comes with physical and mental challenges. What we gain from this ‘slow living’ is an opportunity to re-educate ourselves and grow into responsible citizens that care for the land and each other.

We grow most of our food ourselves. Our aim is to living with reciprocity, using as much local resources as possible. We strongly believe that community and getting back to our true nature, within nature is the future.
