St. Kilda

St. Kilda, a UNESCO World Heritage site in the UK, is a remote archipelago renowned for its dramatic cliffs, abundant seabird colonies, and unique cultural history. Evacuated in 1930, it preserves evidence of over 2,000 years of human occupation, including ancient stone structures and a medieval village. Its isolation in the North Atlantic has fostered a pristine ecosystem, making it a critical haven for species like puffins and gannets. Today, it stands as a testament to both natural beauty and resilient heritage.
