Location

Sanday lies immediately west of Canna, joined by a road bridge over a tidal channel. Its grid reference is roughly NG282043. The bridge is reached within minutes on foot from Canna’s harbour. Once crossed, the island's eastern bay and church are easily visible and accessible.

What's nearby

Just across the bridge lies Traigh Bhàn beach. Short walks lead inland to St Edward’s Church and the old school. Coastal paths circle the island’s cliffs, reaching puffin colonies at Dun Mor sea stacks. From the west end, return tracks head back across the island to Canna’s harbour and main settlement.
