EACH of Scotland’s Small Isles are swept with unique personalities, but it’s tricky visiting them all by ferry on the same trip.
I had my concerns about the communities on Canna and Rum, and was relieved to find green shoots sprouting here in the spectacular Hebridean waters south of Skye.
There were concerns too about how it was possible to stabilise, nevermind grow, the population in a sustainable way. I tuck into a chunky homemade sandwich for lunch, with a thick wedge of well-cooked Canna beef. If I wasn’t due back on the Lucy Mary I’d be tucking into the platter of local seafood, washed down, of course, with that Canna beer for dinner.
Poignant too that the building Tunnell is “breathing new life into” would have been well kent to the cleared. It’s a defiant, positive nod to Canna’s future. My first stop is an old cleared township – there once were 40-50. Some of the old stone croft houses still lie in the forest en route to the otter hide built by NatureScot , who have arguably been better at protecting Rum’s bountiful red deer and Manx shearwaters than the human inhabitants.
