Photographs from the Canna Collection with new work by Colin Prior.

This summer the National Trust for Scotland is staging a photography exhibition about the Isle of Canna – the most westerly of the Small Isles – featuring stunning new work by contemporary Scottish photographer Colin Prior contrasted with images from the island’s archive.

The Canna Collection includes fascinating photographs of the island and its past residents, many taken by the renowned photographer and former owner of the island Margaret Fay Shaw Campbell.

The exhibition will be accompanied by sound recordings from the island such as the atmospheric sounds of the sea and seabirds. Audio material from the archives will also feature including Gaelic readings and extracts from interviews made by John Lorne Campbell.
