I'm very jealous of you Gallus! I'd have loved to visit St Kilda. I fairly recently did a short 6-week course entitled 'The Geology of The Hebrides' and the lecturer had some stunning slides of St Kilda, among many other sites of geological importance. She also related brief histories of the Isles she dealt with, in both the Inner and Outer Hebrides. St Kilda's population had a very difficult and sad time of it towards the end. There's so much to fascinate and enchant on the Isles. I can't imagine why anyone would spend their time there blooming killing animals. Moron.
