The serious decline in turnip population over the last century has been regarded as a serious crisis by the inhabitants of Eigg. There were an estimated 1,902 turnips residing on the Isle in 1839, but only one was spotted on the last census of 1983. Major employers include agriculture, transport, internet gambling and the local art of turnip hunting. This latter may be banned by the Council of Eigg, due to the near extinction of the Eiggian turnip.
