    Fantastic. Why did they abandon the village I love the bright colors on the house in the last photo.

      The story of St. Kilda is a long one! It's 40 miles out in the Atlantic west of the Outer Hebrides, a tiny cluster of one island and some rock stacks, and 50,000 nesting Gannets. The tiny community that lived here (evidence suggests for thousands of years), was isolated half the year, and relied heavily on mutton, birds' eggs, and birds themselves for surviving. It eventually just got too isolated for the remaining 20 or so people, and they asked to be resettled on the larger islands of Harris and Lewis.
