Eilean Chanaigh 2

Canna lies about 25 miles southwest off the coast of Skye in a cluster of four islands known as the Small Isles. But with only 15 residents and with the lack of easy access to the mainland, Canna is a fragile community. We spend a winter with the residents to find out what life is like for them and how they cope with the challenges island life throws at them, from weather to farming. Canna House is closed for renovations but we get a look inside what was home to John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw, now owned by NTS. And the islanders are excited as resident Anna Rothach is getting married in spring - the first time in 10 years since a resident got married on the island, and the whole community is invited to help the newlyweds celebrate. A heartwarming insight into a close community working together. In Gaelic with English subtitles.
