Hello all. I'm an Island lover at heart and of all the scattered specs within the water around Britain, none is more fascinating to me than the story of St Kilda.
St Kilda is an archipelago some 40 miles of the coast of Shetland, it is believed to have been inhabited by just under 200 hundred people at the height of the native population. However that population, like countless other native groups, suffered steady decline due to the veracity of disease from the mainland and emigration and in 1930 after an outbreak of typhoid the entire Island was evacuated.
