What to do on Sanda
Sanda will delight nature and wildlife enthusiasts . The island is designated as a site of special scientific interest for its importance in both migrating and breeding birds. A small bird observatory allows visitors unrivalled witness to an incredible wealth of avian life.
For people keen on history, the island has had connections with several well-known historical figures, including the Bruce family, William Wallace and Saint Ninian, the first evangeliser north of Hadrian's Wall. Later on, the island was linked to the MacDonalds of Kintyre .
Interesting fact, the island owns and prints its own stamps , and this since 1962.
