St Kilda. Its People and Birds (1908)
I would love to visit this place. Last British stop on the Atlantic to America.

No shit...
I'm actually going out with the Queen of Kilda. Not actually a lie, she like properly is.

did you ever read Tom Steel's 'The Life and Death of St. Kilda'?

Or 'Island on the Edge of the World' by Charles MacLean
which is also very good. So many amazing things about the place - my favourite is the fact that some poor bugger had to row from Skye in a tiny boat to collect the rent every year!

haven't read that one yet
I very nearly applied for a job on St Kilda - 6-month archaeological placement...would have been interesting
