I have a book on the life and death of St Kilda, a fascinating read of the lives of the people that lived and struggled to make an existence on what was once the most remote place to live in Great Britain...
On the 29th August 1930 the remaining 36 inhabitants left to settle at Morven-Lochaber on the mainland at their own request.
The last original St Kilda resident died in 1988...
I have seen the Islands of St Kilda on a clear summer day from the hills of Harris when i visited there cycling my Fatbike what now feels like A long time ago...
I will visit St Kilda hopefully soon, as it is somewhere my late father often talked of wanting to visit... i will get there for you dad...
This lovely film captures the beauty of the island, and one of a few dual world heritage sites,
And at the end a real treat for the visitor full filling his own dream, what he had searched for all his life...
