Visitors welcomed back to Gaelic scholars’ newly restored home

the National Trust for Scotland
  • Canna House, located in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides, has reopened to visitors after nine years of restoration work costing £3.6 million.
  • The National Trust for Scotland completed repairs to the former home of Gaelic scholars John Lorne Campbell and Margaret Fay Shaw, preserving an archive of Gaelic music, folklore, and culture.
  • Repairs included reinforcing the building's roof and windows to withstand Hebridean weather.
  • John Lorne Campbell gifted Canna to the National Trust for Scotland in 1981, including the couple’s vast library, archives, and sound recordings, featuring Gaelic folk songs, tales, and linguistic material.
  • The house has reopened for pre-booked guided tours, aiming to recreate the atmosphere of Canna House in its prime.
