Sanday, Tidal island in Inner Hebrides, Scotland
Sanday covers 184 hectares of land mass with sandbanks connecting it to neighboring Canna island during periods of low tide.
The island's Catholic church of St Edward underwent transformation in 2001 to become a Study Centre focusing on Gaelic language archives.
The island maintains traditional crofting practices on sections of its territory, differing from the single farm approach used on neighboring Canna.
A road bridge completed in 2006 replaced the former footbridge, enabling vehicle access between Sanday and Canna regardless of tide conditions.
The restored church building now functions as both a hostel and a research center, contributing to the preservation of Gaelic language materials.
