Sannox

Sannox (Scottish Gaelic: Sannaig) is a village on the Isle of Arran, Scotland.

Within North Glen Sannox it is possible to find an Iron Age fort and the remains of a village, abandoned in 1829 as part of the process of the Highland clearances.

Most of the inhabitants of this village emigrated to Canada where they built a replica of the church that was constructed in Sannox in 1822.

Remains of the houses and runrigs - a type of farming common in western Scotland at the time - are visible throughout North Glen Sannox.

Operations ended when in 1862 the 11th Duke of Hamilton closed the mine, claiming that it spoiled the local area.
