Canna will soon have recognition status as the first Island Dark Sky Sanctuary. With no light pollution you can see the stars and planets emerge to form constellations and then the whole Milky Way stretching across the sky while you track satellites and catch a last glimpse of a shooting star. Use our Visit Scotland star charts and apps like Sky View to name the stars and find your way around the sky.

 

Winter is the best time for eagles, buzzards and peregrine falcons as they can be seen hunting along the hill ridges. Our seals, eider ducks and many other winter residents stay in the safety of Canna Harbour where they can find shelter and food.

 

Our peaceful Isle of Canna is also superb for walking - follow our suggested itinerary to discover its history and archaeology. Includes opportunities to volunteer with our community projects.
