COROGHON BARN
Redevelopment for the community building
We are delighted to be working with the Isle of Canna Community Development Trust on designs for the redevelopment of the iconic Coroghan Barn into a multi-use community building, including a new bunkhouse for the many visitors who are drawn to Canna’s spectacular landscape and history. Coroghan Barn is a prominent and special building which holds an important place in the history and identity of Canna. The ruined B-Listed structure is nestled above the beach between Coroghan Castle which sits on a volcanic spur above the sea, green farmland and the dramatic stacks formed by the Palaeogene period volcanic activity. Coroghan Barn aims to embody what it means to be a present-day Hebridean island, enhance the viability of Canna’s community and be emblematic of a new era and new generation of islanders.
