St Kilda
This spectacular volcanic archipelago, located off the coast of the Hebrides, consists of the islands of Hirta, Dun, Soai and Borea. It is home to Europe's highest cliffs, which are home to a large number of rare and endangered birds, especially puffins and gannets. The archipelago has not been inhabited since 1930, but the extreme climatic conditions of the Hebrides have been inhabited by humans for more than 2,000 years. The remains of human habitation include building structures and field systems, stone houses and traditional highland stone houses. These relics reflect the fragile remains of a subsistence economy based on bird products, agriculture and sheep farming.
