Scope and Content Coroghon Barn, Canna, Highland, from south-west Coroghon Barn, built on a sloping site above Coroghon Bay and which dates to the late 18th century, is thought to have been part of the improvements carried out by Hector MacNeill, when he became tenant of part of Canna in 1781. The barn is shown on an estate map dating to 1805. The lower floor of the barn is divided into two compartments. The larger one has three door openings seen here in the south elevation. The wall is strengthened by three buttresses which were added at a later date to support the barn on its sloping site. 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.
