The island of Hirta is the largest of the St. Kilda Archipelago having approximately 9.3 miles of coastline. Hirta was populated continuously from prehistoric times until 1930 when the last of the islanders asked to be evacuated. The village that we see today on visiting Hirta was laid out in the 1830's close to Village Bay.
The St. Kilda Archipelago is managed by The National Trust for Scotland. File 6395
