Sanday is a tidal island linked to its larger neighbour, Canna, via sandbanks at low tide, and also connected to the larger island by a bridge. Canna and Sanday form a single community, and are usually described as Canna. The church now a deconsecrated, and now disused was a gift to the people of Canna and Sanday from Gwendolyn Fitzalan-Howard, the 3rd Marchioness of Bute, who had it erected as a memorial to her father, Edward Fitzalan Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Glossop, who had died in 1883. At the time, the islands were owned by the Thom family, though permission was willingly given by them, despite the fact that they were not Catholics. Designed by William Frame, who was architect to the Butes, St Edward's was built between 1886 and 1890. This was Clan MacDonald country. The ancestors of the MacDonald family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. The family name comes from the Anglicized version of the Gaelic personal name Mac Dhomhnuill. The surname MacDonald was first found in Kintyre, and much of the Eastern islands and coast-lands where members of this Clan, descended through Somerled, Lord of the Isles and had resided for many years. William Macdonald, a Scottish convict from Edinburgh, was transported aboard the ship Asia on July 29th, 1823, settling in Van Diemen's Land, Australia; John Macdonald, a Scottish convict who was convicted in Edinburgh, Scotland for 14 years, was transported aboard the Barossa on 8th December 1839, arriving in New South Wales, Australia; Janet Macdonald, aged 3, landed in Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1801; Norman and Elizabeth Macdonald, and their two children settled in Georgia, America, in 1741; Alastair Macdonald landed in Baltimore, Maryland, America, in 1803; James Macdonald landed in North Carolina, America, in 1772 .
