An amazing place
St Kilda is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean, 65 kilometers west of the Hebrides Islands off the
north-west coast of Scotland. St Kilda consists of three main islands with a total area of 850 hectares.
The main island, Hirta, is a beautiful green island with high mountains and dangerous cliffs. For
hundreds of years, St Kilda was one of the smallest and most remote inhabited islands in Europe. At
one time, 180 people lived on the island, but by the beginning of the 20th century there were fewer
than 100. The people of St Kilda lived on fish and sea birds’ eggs. Life on the island was very hard.
There was no school, so children had to leave the island for an education. The island had no doctor
and the stormy seas around the island meant that it was often too dangerous for a boat to land, so if
people became sick they often died. Life became too difficult there and in 1930 the last 36 inhabitants
left the island. Today there are no permanent residents on the island, but tourists often visit in summer
when the sea is calm enough for a boat to land. There are a lot of interesting ruins on the island –
including the houses of the people who once lived there. The island is also a nature reserve and there
are thousands of sea birds and sheep.
