A tiny Hebridean island is growing tens of thousands of trees to create a sustainable supply of wood for fuel and to support natural habitats.
Eigg has no mains power and its population of about 80 people rely on small renewable electricity schemes and stoves to light and warm their homes.
Over about the last five years, islanders have planted more than 50,000 trees grown from seeds collected from the island's woods and a forestry plantation.
The saplings, which are said to be well adapted to the island's windy weather, have also been sent off to other islands including Uist and Barra.
