St Kilda, A Photographic Guide to Island History and Development

A stunningly illustrated account of life on the edge of the world.
At the edge of the horizon, an ancient volcano erupts from the ocean to form the St Kilda archipelago. Endangered birds fill the skies, and miniature sheep graze the shores. It is a place of mystery and intrigue, a prison for some, and a paradise for others. A place where fairies and changelings roam, and superstition leads to murder.
