Island of Danna, Tidal island in Argyll and Bute, Scotland

The Island of Danna spans 315 hectares and reaches a height of 54 meters above sea level, connected to mainland Scotland by a stone causeway.

The name Danna originates from Norse language, indicating Danish settlement influence in this part of Scotland during the Viking period.

The island forms part of the Knapdale National Scenic Area and the Ulva, Danna, and MacCormaig Isles Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Access to the island depends on tide schedules, as the stone causeway connecting it to the mainland becomes submerged during high water levels.

Census data from 2011 recorded just one permanent resident on this remote island, making it among the least populated territories in Scotland.
