Description: When the last inhabitants of St Kilda were evacuated in 1930, the archipelago at 'the edge of the world' lost its permanent population after five millennia. This book tells the absorbing and eventful story of St Kilda from up to the evacuation and its aftermath, using previously untapped sources to provide fresh insights, and tell the true story.
Review Quotes: "... a nuanced and compelling analysis of this historic event, Fleming's re-interpretation of St Kilda's history overturns the traditional view that it was a failure to adapt that resulted in the end of the St Kilda way of life."-- "History Scotland"
