    St Kilda is such an interesting place. I would love to go visit the islands at some point. This is a great video to learn more about these groups of islands.

    Thank you for sharing this fascinating documentary. Its a piece that requires many views to absorb the immense social outcome. I would be interested to know if their Gaelic differed to the other Isles due to their isolation?

      I think the dialect would be slightly different, but I'm not sure about the language itself. Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Fabulous video I find it fascinating that they didn’t eat fish ??

      It does seem strange but they preferred seabirds and their eggs from what I could glean. Thank you so much for watching the video.

    I have heard this numerous times but I will go on listening. I lived near Lochaline, Morvern, Argylle, it was our main village with a shop. Absolutely beautiful area and I heard the last of the St Kildas people had recently died. She left a trunk which someone I knew had but would not show me the contents and they took it abroad when they went, should have been left in Scotland. The dogs from Herta had rocks tied to their legs and thrown in the sea.

      Thank you so much for watching. Yes, it's a beautiful area of the country. I knew the dogs had been left but didn't know they'd been drowned. How very sad. That's a shame regarding the trunk. It could've been a real treasure trove for historians.

    I first saw a video done recently by a tourist, and the cottages were in ruins. As I understand it, the roofs were removed, so not much was left but the walls. It seems like they would have wanted to keep them as much intact as possible for history's sake. One person said the dogs were drowned. I don't know why anyone would do such a thing. That's just horribly mean.

      The sources I had said the dogs were left on the island, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were drowned poor souls. It was simply left to decay once the people left, and of course money to preserve them was an issue. Storms probably played their part too. It's a fascinating place. Thank you so much for watching the video.

    This would have been better if more photos etc could have been located. I realize that it is a very remote location and that may nor be possible, but still, I can wish.

      I understand that but due to copyright reasons, this wasn't possible at the time of making the video. Thank you for watching.
