Welcome to Erraid!
This tiny Hebridean isle, with its historic lighthouse keepers’ dwellings, has been home to a small and evolving community since 1978.
Our way of life is rooted in the principles of the Findhorn Foundation and we strive to live in harmony — caring for the gardens, the cottages, and one another.
Life on a remote Scottish island means embracing nature and the elements. It invites a deeper connection to the land, the sea, and the changing weathers — and to our place within it all.
Erraid is one of those rare places where you can witness humankind making a positive impact on the Earth. The contrast of the wild, rugged islets off the west coast of Erraid with the vibrant abundance of life nurtured in our sheltered gardens is inspiring.
This is a place of beauty, resilience, and transformation.
Our community is open to guests and you are welcome to join us for a week or more.
Many people have been called to Erraid to engage in our alternative, intentional way of living, to learn how to grow food and live more sustainably in relationship with the land and to experience the island’s raw, elemental beauty.
