Winds of Change

With stunning scenery, huge seabird colonies and the visible, abandoned remains of past lives, St Kilda is a place that draws many island travellers. This beautifully illustrated volume is the culmination of archaeological research undertaken on the main island, Hirta, over the past twenty years. New evidence has emerged through the extremely challenging excavation of structures in screes, the study of agricultural soils and boundaries and the re-examination of enigmatic structural remains on the island, illuminating how people lived and farmed there over the past two millennia and more.
