Scope and Content The Bothy, Canna, Highland, from south The Bothy, known formerly as Coroghon House, dates to between 1781 and 1787. It is a long low building constructed from rubble, which has been whitewashed, and it has a slated roof. Although it is single-storeyed with an attic, it originally had another storey which was removed in the 1860s. The building consists of a cottage and various outbuildings, and it was built for Hector MacNeill who rented Changehouse and part of Coroghon in 1781 from the owner, John MacDonald, of Clanranald. By 1810, when MacNeill died, he was the tenant of all three farms on Canna and was a prosperous man. Canna is one of the most westerly of the Small Isles and is situated to the north-west of Rhum. The island is low-lying and is a mixture of fertile ground, bog and moorland. In 1981 Canna was gifted to The National Trust for Scotland by Dr J L Campbell. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
