St Kilda, a remote island in Scotland that was home to a small community that thrived for centuries through unique practices like bird hunting and wool production.
In 1930, facing food shortages and disease, the last residents requested evacuation.
Now owned by the National Trust for Scotland, parties of volunteers work on the islands in the summer to restore the many ruined buildings that the native St Kildans left behind. They share the island with a small military base established in 1957.
