Help the Isle of Sanday get its first ever road!!

Canna and Sanday are two adjoining islands connected by a bridge that can take vehicles but there is no road on Sanday.
We have already raised £17,200 towards the total cost of £31,428 for the road and just need your help to fund this last bit!

Our project is to build a track across Sanday so islanders can get to and from their homes and businesses when the tide is in.
When the tide is out vehicles can cross the bridge and use the extremely rocky and uneven track to the houses and school.
When the tide is in, this track is blocked and travel is only possible by foot or quad bike.

This will make a huge and immediate difference to the lives of everyone living there.
It will enable islanders to travel freely by vehicle from the pier on Canna to home on Sanday, carrying basic supplies such as shopping, fuel for heating and for getting back and forth to work on Canna.
Creating this track will be life-changing for residents of Sanday and vital to encourage new people to settle on the island.
Funding so far: £9,000 from the National Trust for Scotland, £5000 MacIntosh Foundation, Campbell Fund £1000, Noble Caledonia £1000, Milligan Transport £250, John Morrison Plumbing & Heating Engineers £500, Northern Lighthouse Board £300, Bella Jane Boat Trips £150. Canna community and businesses will make cash and in kind donations.
The track will stretch from the Canna bridge to St Edwards church, approximately 1.5 miles long and 3m wide and will use using locally sourced materials.
Alongside the track we are going to create a trail to link sites of interest on Sanday together. These include the bridge itself, the shrine, machair and sand dunes, archeology, bird colonies, working croft lands, St Edwards Church and Sanday lighthouse.
