Summary

This thought provoking volume is based on the very successful conference held in Great Bernera, Lewis in August 2005 to mark the 75th anniversary of the evacuation of St Kilda. It examines the background to the island's dramatic history in the context of the struggles for survival of other remote islands in the Western Isles, Shetland, Ireland, and the Faroes. The authors shed new light on the oft-told story of St Kilda's decline and fall, and challenge the many myths which have grown up over the centuries. - The Islands Book Trust
