St. Kilda (2)

Along the shore, St. Kilda is reminiscent of Lunga, with rocks, seals, and sea birds. They're about 45 miles apart. A Google search reveals: "Internationally recognised for its birdlife, St Kilda is no less famous for its human history. A community existed here for at least 4,000 years, exploiting the dense colonies of gannets, fulmars and puffins for food, feathers and oil. The final 36 islanders were evacuated in 1930" at their own request.
