Wikipedia tells us: "St Kilda is an isolated archipelago situated 64 kilometres west-northwest of North Uist in the North Atlantic Ocean. It contains the westernmost islands of the Outer Hebrides of Scotland."
That description sounds rather uninviting, and the reality is not so different. It's remarkable that at least a few people have lived here, making a living out of rock, grass, and water, for centuries. They lived in a unique form of stone structure known as cleitean. Finally unable to sustain themselves, they requested evacuation in the 1930s.
