Sanday

Over the bridge, by the fisherman's shrine, a path to the right follows the shore to Traigh Bhàn, a white sand beach for a picnic, with sandy fields behind it full of flowers in summer. Go early and there may be otter prints in the sand.

The new road runs on to St Edward's, the church with a tower built in the 1890s as a landmark for the fishermen who came to Canna. From there a field wall leads to the south coast and the sea stacks of Dun Mor and Dun Beag, where hundreds of puffins nest from late April to July among fulmars, kittiwakes, guillemots, razorbills and shags. Come back by the lighthouse and the north shore. The highest point, Tallabric, is only 59 metres.
