Key item features

As one of the most remote corners of the British Isles, the island archipelago of St Kilda has long held a fascination for travelers from mainland Britain and beyond. The unique way of life and customs of its inhabitants has generated an enormous amount of literature over a period of hundreds of years. Kenneth Macaulay’s account is one of the most significant works ever written about the islands, and is a description of what he saw there on his visit of 1763, at which time the island population had dwindled to just 88. In addition to giving vivid descriptions of the islanders themselves and their living conditions, Macaulay also offers a huge amount of information on the animals and birds found there—the sheep and cattle, and above all the wildfowl, which were used for a huge variety of purposes, including oil, shoes, and medicine as well as food.
