ST KILDA: A PEOPLES HISTORY (PB)

St Kilda is one of the most romanticised groups of islands in Britain. Soaring out of the Atlantic in spectacular fashion, they were an unforgiving home to native St Kildans for over two thousand years. Based on archival research, this is a portrait of the life and death, work and play of a small, proud, tough and self-sufficient people who lived by farming, fishing and bird-catching, until they were evacuated at their own request in 1930. By the author of the best-selling Calum’s Road.
