Description

The small island archipelago of St Kilda has long been a source of fascination for outsiders. Located sixty miles west of the Scottish Hebrides, this remote community has captivated those drawn to its unique way of life. Despite having a population under 100 at one point, the society on St Kilda was remarkably well-developed. One notable aspect of St Kilda's history is the daily 'parliament' held by the island's men, where they would discuss tasks and make decisions for the day. This unique social structure provides valuable insight into the lives of those who called this isolated community home. George Seton's work offers a vital understanding of this fascinating island society. Published in 2019, St Kilda is an important study that sheds light on the history and culture of this remarkable place.
