The Life of John Lorne Campbell of Canna by Ray Perman
In the bleak midsummer
On another bleak midsummer John’s remains returned to Canna. By poetic coincidence his coffin made the journey on the Loch Nevis in the company of a wedding party. And now long friends of Canna, Gordon and Julie Galloway return to the island every June to celebrate their anniversary.
Light on the horizon: does Canna offer a model of good practice?
On a later summer afternoon patrons of the National Trust for Scotland looked out over the clear waters of Canna harbour to say farewell to the island sometimes described as the Jewel of the Hebrides. With the island bathed in sunshine, the dark cloud hanging over the trust itself must have been the last thing on their minds.
