A new visitor facility has opened on the Isle of Canna, bringing essential services to one of Scotland’s most remote islands. Located beside the pier, the timber-clad hub offers toilets, showers, laundry, a room for NHS visits, and space for the local ranger.

The £771,000 project was developed by the Isle of Canna Community Development Trust and runs on solar power. Visitors are invited to donate rather than pay fixed fees. It's designed to encourage longer stays while easing pressure on island infrastructure.

Canna has only around 20 residents, and the hub is meant for them as much as for visitors.
