Around 160 years ago, St Kilda, the remote archipelago off the coast of Scotland, was home to a small, resilient community. The houses on the main island, Hirta, were constructed using dry stone walls and thatched roofs, designed to withstand the harsh Atlantic winds. Life was rugged yet resourceful, with the community relying on seabirds, sheep, and simple agriculture for survival.
Today, these houses stand as poignant remnants of a unique way of life, abandoned in 1930 when the last inhabitants were evacuated. The hauntingly beautiful ruins now form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
