Hi everyone!
Updating of Deeds of Servitude is now done, Insurance quote updated, supply of hard core for our vehicular access road granted by the Isle of Eigg Heritage Trust, exact sites for water tank, biorock septic tank and pipe runs are identified. We just need to sign the acquisition papers on the dotted line, and we are ready to start of the final part of our preparotory phase!
We even managed to convince the historical environment officer in Highland Council to allow us to do our own archaeological watching brief during all that preparatory work. We are now calling to our Solas Eige members to come along and help take photographs : we might have to take turn about as the slow scraping of the ground commences, 10 cm by 10 cm! Just crossing our fingers we won't encounter any archaeology as this was a hay field for Sandaveg farm for the last few centuries (See map above, the green field above the word "close". ) and not much else than pasture ground since, but you never know....
The BIG DAY is expected to be sometime in mid February, so we re getting ready to pop the champagne cork and raise a dram!
