An island which has seen drastic action to protect its rare mice and birds is now trying to end a decline in its human population.

The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) hopes to attract two new families to Canna in the Hebrides.

The trust, which owns the most westerly of the Small Isles, said it has 15 inhabitants left.

In an effort to reverse the decline, NTS is offering two of its properties for rent.

One of the comments on the BBC said:

I would love to live on the island, provided somebody or the authorities can make arrangement for the expenses for me and my family members for migration and citizenship and settlement requirements at that place.

me and 50 members of my immediate family want the british government to pay for us to overrun this tiny island and take it over, so the indegenious people will leave and we can ruin another part of britain. would the british government also mind paying to build us a mosque/sikh temple so we can feel more at home and not need to intergrate into british society.
