Description
St Kilda, the Last and Outmost Isle, challenges the popular perception of this enigmatic archipelago. For centuries, it has been seen as a remote and isolated place, but archaeologists Angela Gannon and George Geddes argue that it was never truly alone. Drawing on their own experiences living and working on the island, as well as a decade of research, they reveal a complex network of communities that linked St Kilda to the north western seaboard and the Highlands of Scotland. This book pulls St Kilda back from the 'end of the world' and tells a compelling story of triumph over geographical adversity. The authors' in-depth knowledge of the island's history and culture is brought to life through their engaging narrative, shedding new light on this fascinating and often misunderstood place. With 320 pages of detailed research and insights, St Kilda, the Last and Outmost Isle is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in history, archaeology, and the culture of Scotland.
