Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

The first edition. 

In the original blue cloth binding.

Illustrated with a monochrome frontispiece, a double full-paged sketched map, and thirty-five monochrome plates. Collated, complete. 

This work was published the year after the 1930 evacuation of St. Kilda's thirty-six islanders to the mainland, due to increased shortages of food and able-bodied younger residents. 

The author, Scottish writer and photographer Alasdair Alpin MacGregor, makes references to this evacuation, mixed with accounts of his own journey to St. Kilda and the island's natural history, climate and topography.
