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.

The Government--Trade-- Departure from the island. T Kilda by a legal fiction is in the county of Inverness, but it is virtually ignored by the British Government. The inhabitants, it is true, pay taxes on their tobacco, whisky, etc., and the Receiver of Wrecks at Stornoway claims the half of the flotsam and jetsam. But for this they might doubt if they are subjects of the Queen. They are too poor and too white-skinned to be deemed worthy of attention. The proprietor, MacLeod of MacLeod, who bought the island several years ago, for, I believe, 2000, may say like Louis XIV., "The State--I am the State," for his power is unlimited. The trade is a monopoly in his hands, and his serfs are obliged to deal with him on his own terms. It is true he has offered to allow them to go and trade where they choose; but he knows he might as well tell one who has been fettered until his limbs have lost all ability that he is at liberty to run, or bid the ostrich lift its wings and fly. When it was suggested by the Spectator that the inhabitants were entitled to a post, no one but MacLeod objected. At present there is no means of getting a letter sent to the island, except by favour of him or his factor, and pestilence or famine might be there, and the inhabitants have no opportunity of letting their condition be known to their fellow-countrymen. If it is right that any private individual should be allowed to possess and govern a remote island like St Kilda, surely it ought to be one who is thoroughly acquainted with the people, and who feels a deep interest in their welfare. But MacLeod has never had his foot on the island, and all his information is derived from hearsay. Even- his agent cannot, except as regards business, have any...

Download or read book Island on the Edge of the World written by Charles MacLean and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. 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, St Kilda is a moving account of human endeavour and of the success and failure in the unending struggle between man and nature for coexistence.
Download or read book St Kilda and the Wider World written by Andrew Fleming and published by Windgather Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 264 pages. 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.
