Danna ({{langx|gd|Danna}}) is an inhabited tidal island in Argyll and Bute.
Geography
It is connected to the mainland by a stone causeway and is at the southern end of the narrow Tayvallich peninsula, which separates Loch Sween from the Sound of Jura.Murray, W.H. (1977) The Companion Guide to the West Highlands of Scotland. London. Collins. Page 89. It is part of the Ulva, Danna and the MacCormaig Isles SSSI.[http://gateway.snh.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=53,910305,53_910338&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&PA_CODE=1581&NEW_WINDOW=false SSSI Designation] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928205806/http://gateway.snh.gov.uk/portal/page?_pageid=53,910305,53_910338&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL&PA_CODE=1581&NEW_WINDOW=false |date=28 September 2007 }}. The nearby Ulva Islands should not be confused with Ulva near Mull. Danna is part of the Knapdale National Scenic Area, one of 40 in Scotland.[http://www.snh.gov.uk/protecting-scotlands-nature/protected-areas/national-designations/nsa/ "National Scenic Areas"]. SNH.
