Beautiful and sad. Loved the bairns on Skye, they all look so happy. I too have been fascinated by St. Kilda for many years, and this is some of the best footage I have ever seen. FANTASTIC
@@valbradybubs Type into youtube st kilda 1928 and many will appear, there is also st kilda 1908, I have watched most of them and they are very interesting because tst kilda is just within reach of me from where I am but the lack of trees etc puts me off.
@@panspermiahunter7597 Thanks so much for the info, I'll definitely have a watch. Re. lack of trees on St Kilda.....I visited orkney and it's the same with hardly any trees which i found quite boring and I'm sure Shetland hardly has any trees either. I gather you're on the west coast of scotland or maybe the outer hebrides
How great to see Kilda ALIVE ....I was there in 2007 when it was empty and in ruins...however, I did see the St. Kilda wren!!!! .l also enjoyed Oban, Skye and, of course, Dunvegan ( I am of the Clan MacLeod).........and I was born in 1928!!!!!! This June (2013) was my fifth trip to the Hebrides!!!!
Hello Marilyn...I meant that my grandpa was a merchant sailor and was on the boat that took the last residents off St.Kilda...he did not live there himself...apologies for not explaining myself more clearly. My grandparents were from the Isle of Harris, which I visited in 2011 when I went home. Visited Dunvegan Castle too...never did got up that far when I lived in Glasgow..lol Its so beautiful there. I live in Kalispell, Montana and my son will be moving to Seattle next year to attend college.
@Stationario: What is wrong with describing the natives as 'natives' ? Am I missing something here people? You then go on about a 'different era' but you don't explain what you are on about! I think what best describes you is 'rambling'!!
The arrogance of the film makers at the time. Describing the St Kildans as 'natives' Ok a different era, but how many communities around the world have been infected by so called progress and subsequently died. Would love to go there and feel what it must have been like
RAMBLE........................I would love to be able to ramble amongst St Kildans. Not to patronise but just appreciate the way of life (however prehistoric to our soft times). I think you are on a wind up.
Thank you for this precious video I have also a precious book on St Kilda life who is translated in french , I hope togo on this Island . What is this melody please in the beginning of the film , a guitar track who begins at 1' ?
Great of you to reply....where do you live in the US....do you have any things of his that he brought with him???? I live in south New Jersey....I've traveled a lot but St. Kilda was one of the most exciting and memorable visits...my son was with me and I am going toforward this to him...he lives in Seattle WA....thanks again for replying...
I am also Clan MacLeod...born and raised in Glasgow and now living in the United States. My grandfather was on the boat which took the last inhabitants off the island in 1930, I believe it was.

There is better, this is more about the journey from Glasgow
Would be interested to watch what you have found.

@@valbradybubs West coast, yes the lack of trees psychologically would get to me, maybe my primitive side is closer than I think?

@mistersmith6000 I presume you mean some of the people who live in St. Kilda, Australia?

I know, I interviewed several of them in Fort William

Hi I am trying to connect with Chris Hebbron, my father was on St Kilda and would like to connect with you. Are you out there? Carrie

@TheAnn2shoes
I think you need to check your facts on that one! St Kilda, Australia did not get its name from the islander's migrating there.
@Stationario Being native to a place means it's where you were born and bred. In this sense, we are all native to some place.
A lot of seagulls in the area ... geez!
But really, a nice video and you did great adding the other sound effects!
@mistersmith6000 St. Kilda in Australia was first populated by ex pat St. Kildans - hence the name.
This is incredible ! I have to get my kids to watch . Only about 90 years ago .
Everyone in this video is dead
@PHGSPB Yep you're right, I was wrong - I've just checked.
looks more like the 20s than the late 19th centuary
Off to Hirta in June so thanks for this great footage
Amazing footage. Thanks for posting.
Where did you get the footage
Great film of the past.
that leading font!
SCOTLAND.
I wonder if any of the Children in this video are still alive,some of them would be around 90-95.
