Danna Island is a tidal island in Argyll and Bute. 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.[5] It is part of the Ulva, Danna and the MacCormaig Isles SSSI.[6]. This Ulva should not be confused with the Ulva near Mull.
