Canna The most westerly island of the Small Isles parish of the Inner Hebrides, Canna has held a special place in Highland clan and religious history over many centuries. It has a base of basaltic rock and this forms a soil that grows good, lush grass on which high-quality sheep and cattle are raised. Since 1938 Canna has been under a form of land ownership that is somewhat rare in the Highlands: committed, progressive, sympathetic, and caring [or both land and population.

In 198I Canna was handed over to the care of the National Trust for Scotland, along with a large and extensive library of Gaelic literature and Gaelic song collections, Canna contains many relics of bygone occupations, from the well-preserved Viking ship burial to the remnants of an early 7th-century church and a medieval prison tower. |
