Old Photographs Isle of Canna Scotland
Old photograph of Isle of Canna, the westernmost of the Small Isles archipelago, in the Scottish Inner Hebrides of Scotland. A' Chill, situated to the north west of Canna Harbour was the main settlement until 1851 when the island was cleared. It was then under the ownership of Donald MacNeil's son Donald, who was a minor at the time. The post-clearance population is recorded as 57 in 1881, in which year MacNeil sold to Robert Thom, a ship owner from Glasgow. His more enlightened stewardship continued until 1938 when his family sought a sympathetic purchaser and sold to John Lorne Campbell. Campbell lived there until his death in 1996, gifting the island to the NTS in 1981.
