I've just returned from a short trip to Edinburgh where I saw a fascinating photo exhibition on the Hebridean Island of Canna, the most westerly of the Small Isles in Scotland. In 1981, the island was gifted to the
National Trust for Scotland. With only a handful of people living there, the Trust has worked to help the tiny island continue to thrive (they even went so far as to advertise for new
residents!). The photos, both old and new, are so interesting especially because so much is still the same and the only way to tell the difference is that the recent photos are in color.
