Isle Called Hirte, An

For over two decades, Mary Harman has been engaged in the quest of resurrecting St Kildans and their society. The book provides, for the first time, a comparison of all the known maps of the island. It also contains new historical detail and an examination of the evidence for early settlement, analyses of building types, accounts of crops and stocks, and a comparison with other communities living in similar circumstances, in the Hebrides and further afield.

An Isle Called Hirte is destined to become the indispensible source book for all whose spirit of adventure or imagination is touched by this lonely island group.
