Inner Hebridean island loses its only school

-

A tiny Scottish island has been left without a school.

The only school on Canna – the westernmos­t isle in the Inner Hebrides – was shut after a family of four children left.

The National Trust for Scotland (NTS), which owns the island, is investigat­ing how new families can be attracted to Canna.

The island has a population of just 17 people. The school would re-open if another family moved there.
