A teacher and her husband have won a global competition to live on a remote Scottish island. Sheila Gunn, 50, and John Clare, 58, a former Royal Navy communications specialist, were named yesterday as the newest inhabitants of Canna, near Skye. Currently living in Oban, they were chosen to set up a guesthouse on the island by Canna's 15 residents after more than 350 couples from countries such as the UK, Canada, and Germany applied. Ms Gunn has already worked at Canna's small school. Final interviews to find a family to move to the island will be held next month.
