The small island archipelago of St Kilda, which rises majestically
from the stormy waters of the North Atlantic, has a magic and
allure which is both enduring and inexplicable. For centuries, St
Kilda's remoteness (it lies sixty miles west of the Scottish
Hebrides), together with the way of life of its inhabitants, has
attracted huge attention from outsiders, who have been fascinated
by this small community literally clinging to the edge of the
world. Although St Kildans were always few in number (the
population was under 100 when Hirta, the only inhabited island, was
evacuated in 1930), their society was extraordinarily well
developed - they famously had their own daily 'parliament', at
which the men of the island would meet and discuss the tasks of the
day. This remains a work of vital importance for the understanding
of this fascinating island society.
