Canna (Sanday) Lighthouse
United Kingdom
The lighthouse guides ships through the Sound of Canna, the passage between Canna and Rùm. Located at the eastern tip of Sanday, an uninhabited island joined to Canna by a footbridge; Canna, westernmost of the Small Isles, is accessible by passenger ferry from Mallaig. The lighthouse is accessible by a hiking trail, but from the lack of photos it appears to be one of the least-visited Scottish lighthouses. Site open, tower closed.
