Love Scotland: Stories of Scotland's History and Nature

Life on Canna: part one


Listen Later

In the first of a two-part visit to the Isle of Canna, Jackie meets the team behind Canna House: the former home of Gaelic scholars John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw.

The National Trust for Scotland has recently complete a nine-year programme of repair and restoration to the house, which now has a strong sense of being a lived-in, post-war home.

Jackie finds out all about the house’s history, the work down by John and Margaret, and the cultural significance of the Canna collection.

With grateful thanks to all those who have supported our conservation and reimagination of Canna House and Archives, through individual donations and gifts given in Wills. We are especially grateful to the National Trust for Scotland Foundation USA and to the members of our Patrons' Club & Founders' Circle for their ongoing love for and support of Canna.

Next week, Jackie heads to sea to meet Canna’s winged inhabitants.
