St Kilda is one of the more distant groups of small islands that
are scattered around the west and north of Scotland. With stunning
scenery, huge seabird colonies and the visible, abandoned remains
of past lives, it is a place that draws many island travellers. The
histories and myths associated with the archipelago have added
intrigue to this remote part of the Western Isles. Many have
concentrated on differences rather than similarities in the
lifestyles of St Kildans compared to other island communities,
whether in recent, historic or prehistoric times. This volume,
which interprets archaeological research undertaken on the main
island Hirta over the past twenty years, provides another view.
Much still survives to be read in the landscape of pre-improvement,
medieval and prehistoric settlement, and this encourages a fresh,
integrated focus for island studies.
