View from the sea of St Edward's Church on Sanday, Isle of Canna, Small Isles, Scotland, UK. Inner Hebrides, Scotland, UK. The islands were left to the National Trust for Scotland by their previous owners, the highly important Celtic studies scholars John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw, in 1981, and are run as a farm and conservation area. Canna House, one of two big houses on the island (the other being Tighard), contains Shaw and Campbell's important archives of Scottish Gaelic literature, folklore, and folk song materials that were donated with the islands to the nation.
