Description
The Life and Death of St Kilda
Tom Steel
FIRST EDITION
150 miles west of the Scottish coast is the island of St Kilda. For 2,000 years the inhabitants were almost completely isolated from the rest of the world. In this fascinating book, Tom Steel tells the moving story of this vanished community and how twentieth century civilisation ultimately brought an entire way of life to its knees.
