Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two thousand years the people of St Kilda remained remote from the world. Their society was viable, utopian even; but in the nineteenth century the islands were discovered by missionaries, do-gooders and tourists, who brought with them money, disease and despotism. In 1930, the few remaining islanders were evacuated, no longer able to support themselves. An exploration of the life and death of the remote Hebridean society, Island on the Edge of the World is a moving account of human endeavour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recent archaeological discoveries have revealed that the archipelago was settled by a viable community well before 2000 B.C.; in prehistoric and Norse times, St. Kilda, far from being penalised by 'isolation', may have played a special role within its region. Later written records reveal a well-organised, economically diversified and culturally rich community, which often dealt effectively with outsiders and won their sympathy. Fascinated outsiders usually interpreted St. Kilda in terms of their own world views; eventually the 'natives' behaved as tourists had come to expect, helping to create the iconic island of today."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *SHORTLISTED FOR THE RNA HISTORICAL ROMANCE AWARD 2021* *LONGLISTED FOR THE HIGHLAND BOOK PRIZE 2020* 'Desperately romantic, lyrically written and with a fascinating plot' Katie Fforde Chrissie Gillies comes from the last ever community to live on the beautiful, isolated Scottish island of St Kilda. Evacuated in 1930, she will never forget her life there, nor the man she loved and lost who visited one fateful summer a few years before. Fred Lawson has been captured, beaten and imprisoned in Nazi-controlled France. Making a desperate escape across occupied territory, one thought sustains him: find Chrissie, the woman he should never have left behind on that desolate, glorious isle. The Lost Lights of St Kilda is a sweeping love story that crosses oceans and decades, and a testament to the extraordinary power of hope in the darkest of times. 'A gorgeous, melancholy love story.' The Times 'An undeniably haunting love story.' Sunday Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Out of the World, or Life in St. Kilda It will be admitted that one may travel far and see nothing more worthy Of observation than this little island and its primitive community. In this belief I paid a visit to St Kilda in the Summer Of 1875, and remained for seven weeks there. I visited it again, for a purpose to be afterwards explained, in 1876, and resided for eight months. I shall now attempt to describe what I saw, in the hope that it may interest those who have no leisure, inclination, or Opportunity for seeing the place for themselves.
