SANDAY Attached to Canna by a footbridge, Sanday protrudes from its mother isle like a jawbone hinged ajar, embracing within its maw a sheltered harbour and inner tidal flats. It is here that the majority of the croft houses still stand - by the time of the worst clearance in 1851, Sanday supported the majority of Canna's impoverished population.
