Description
The Child of St Kilda In 1930, the last remnants of a unique way of life vanished from the remote islands of St Kilda. For over four thousand years, people had thrived in this harsh environment, developing a society built on resilience and mutual trust. But what was it like to grow up in such conditions? The story of Norman John Gillies, one of the last children born on the islands, offers a glimpse into this ancient lifestyle. His experiences are a testament to the strength and resourcefulness of those who called St Kilda home. This book tells the story of how the islanders' way of life came to an end, and what became of them. A poignant and thought-provoking account that sheds light on a fascinating chapter in history.
