  • CANNA front cover

    Canna Schooldays (£16.95)
    reviewed by Andrew Macdonald

    I really enjoyed this book and would highly recommend to all. I went to primary school in the Hebrides in the seventies and loved reading about the history of Canna school. You get a wonderful insight into the challenges of running a small island school over the past 130 years and the social history of the Island. There are some fascinating details and stories about the experiences of the children and the teachers. Great read!

  • CANNA front cover

    Canna Schooldays (£16.95)
    reviewed by Mrs l Pearson

    This charming and informative book gives the reader a glimpse into, both school and indeed everyday life on a remote Scottish Island in the Inner Hebredes, tells the stories through generations of Island folk, who battled the elements on a daily basis to get there!
    Beautifully written and researched this book is a “must read” for anyone who wants to be transported into the lives and times of bygone days and a world apart from the mainland. Full of interesting photographs and many tales of how life was in Canna all those years ago..
