The Scottish Island Owned By The Community | Gigha

I head to the Isle of Gigha, the Scottish Island owned by the community. Located on the west coast of Scotland and accessible from Tayinloan on The Kintyre Peninsula, Gigha is a short 20 minute ferry crossing away, making it a great island for a day trip. Gigha is a small island in Scotland's Inner Hebrides known for its community ownership model. In 2002, the island's residents successfully purchased Gigha from a private owner through a community buyout scheme, aided by funding from sources like the National Lottery and the Scottish Land Fund. This change in ownership empowered the community to take control of the island's resources and develop sustainable economic opportunities. Since becoming community-owned, Gigha has made strides in renewable energy, tourism promotion, sustainable agriculture, community engagement, and environmental conservation. The island now boasts wind turbines and solar panels to generate clean energy, welcoming accommodations for tourists, support for local farming, and a commitment to preserving its natural beauty. Gigha's story is a testament to the power of community-driven initiatives and their ability to shape the future of their own landscapes and livelihoods. 🍿 WATCH NEXT: ISLAY / WHISKY ISLAND:    • Visiting The World's Whisky Island | Islay   ISLE OF JURA:    • I Went To Scotland’s Wild Island   KINTYRE PENINSULA:    • Travelling The Scotland Tourists Don't Go   ISLE OF ARRAN:    • Visiting The Scottish Island That Has Ever...   SHETLAND ISLANDS:    • I Travelled The Shetland Islands For 7 Days   EXTRA CONTENT ON PATREON: 🎬 Get access to exclusive uncut and bonus videos, behind-the-scenes content and sneak peeks into future projects -   / ruthaisling   🚌 My Scotland Group Trips: https://ruthaisling.com/group-trips/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 My Scotland Google Map: https://geni.us/L7sek2P 💌 Free Scotland Travel Guide: https://ruthaisling.com MY OTHER SOCIALS: 📸 INSTAGRAM -   / ruthaisling   🎥 FACEBOOK -   / ruthaisling   📱 TIKTOK -   / ruth.aisling   🌍 WEBSITE - https://ruthaisling.com MY FAVOURITE TOOLS & GEAR: 🚽 Trelino - The best van toilet (Use code RUTHAISLING for a discount or gift): https://geni.us/lC0UmdH 🔋 Bluetti - My favourite van portable batteries (Use code BLUETTIRA for 5% discount): https://geni.us/ewxrm1v 🎵 Epidemic Sound - Music in my videos: https://geni.us/a1Qq WHO AM I? If we haven't met before... Hi, I'm Ruth 👋 and I recently bought a campervan to travel my home country of Scotland after living overseas for 12 years. I’ve hardly seen anything or been anywhere in Scotland and now is the time to change that! P.S. Some of the links in this description are affiliate links that I get a kickback from.
