Thank you for this wonderful history of the outer Hebrides in Scotland, what a hard life these Islanders experienced, regards from Queensland Australia😊

There's a film " The edge of the world" based on the evacuation of St Kilda.

Absolutely brilliant!

An absolute treat,loved this, and the music was lovely too.

Excellent short film about St Kilda

The entire population was removed in 1930...

Maria Ouspenskaya did an awesome job in this movie as the gypsy woman Maleva.

I first saw this film on the Edge of The World DVD, it's a film set on St Kilda but filmed on Foula

The drag presenter was so rude to the male singer he made him get flustered and forgot his lines😮. I remember watching it live and getting furious with the presenter fat shaming the singer. The singer was good but the presenter constantly cracked jokes at his expense. Disgusting 😑

Fantastic! Iconic! Thanks! 🎸🎶

Beautiful Voice,

Fantastic 😍

What a treasure of history!

What a beautiful film ..as a Scottish islander who moved away a long time ago.. your home always stays in your heart 😢 I wonder how many people on the mainland can trace their routes to st Kilda ?

WOW what a film. I hope this is never lost. I am going to save it and watch it on St. Kilda soon. Felt a bit emotional just watching it sat here in my house in the Highlands. Watching this sat on top of St Kilda will be something else as I look down over the village. Its a beautiful place but so many places that I love here also fill me with a kind of sadness and loneliness that I cant put into words very easily. Every time I go out on my own and sit in the Scottish hills I feel it. Its like a sense of happiness and sadness all mixed in one and something I have needed to feel more and more as the years pass by.

Wonder who shears the sheep left on the Island?

St. Kilda is actually an archipelago, not an island. Hirta is the largest island in St. Kilda.

For anyone wondering, music is by Scottish folk musician David Allison

It’s a shame modern Carl’s burg is shit

Probably the best war movie ever made. The enemy is not the German army, but the desert. The hero is an ambulance called Katy.

🔥😎💥

Would love to hear their accents.

The word is “loneliest”, not “loneliest”.

All the dogs were put in the sea to drown when they left. I’ll never understand that.

Is there any record of how the sy Kilda natives got on after leaving

Absolutely beautiful. A tragic story.

And to think they left very shortly after this film was shot. To imagine the pain they felt in having to leave the place their families had called home for thousands of years. I guess they knew it was for the best but it must have been awfully sad and difficult to adapt to a new way of life

I went there this year and I'll tell you the cliffs are the most spectacular thing I've seen in the uk

Scotlands Island actually

Beautiful.

who is the young girl on the train with the stage mother

who did the music for this? interesting

Just returned from St.kilda, an experience hard to describe. I camped over one night, such a magical place. This movie is priceless.

Hey, is this public domain? Can I use some of this footage for my video?

Thanks for uploading this. Amazing footage!

If you get the chance, watch Michael Powell's movie "Edge of the World" ( he of Powell and Pressburger fame) A drama set on St Kilda in the 1930s. It is a rarely seen gem

Modern technology anno 2021 could make St Kilda totally self reliant. But it's now a ruin.

There is a story of the Islander all but wipe out due to small pocks. Only a few survived but there was a crew of 15 man that where on the outer island shearing the sheep when the out break occurred. Once a years a crew where sent out to shear the sheep which took about a week to do. So they the would be drop off which was very dangerous. The boat would row back to st kilda and row back a week latter weather permitting retrieve the man and wool. The story go that several storm blow up making it impossible to retrieve the man. This is when a visitor arrived from the main land and infected the Islander and small pock broke out and within a month all the man on St tkilda die. Having no man to retrieve the man on the outer island who survived being infected with small pocks until some one from the mainland arrived at Stikilda . So the Lord sorted Crofters from Skye and repopulated the St Kilda and one family were the Gilles which was the first home in the video which was mention. Why this intrigued me is that in the 1852 some 36 St Kildans immigrated from St Kilda to Melbourne Australia. One of these St Kildan was a . Ewen Gilles who grow up on St Kilda and immigrated at the age of 24. Ewen Gilles went on to travel the world and had such advanturest life only to return to St.kilda.and again immigrated to Canada and return to st kilda again but only to be told to leave and went to live the rest of his life in California.

A perfect movie!

Abair guth brèagha!

Moving and beautiful

great film amazing ,does anybody know what language those people spoke ?

I can't tell you how profoundly moving I found this film... And I can't understand the tearful nostalgia for a land and life I never knew. A most beautiful record of days long gone. ❤️

In the film, over the few minutes of this scene, they have real problems with continuity. Go watch it, and keep your eye on the head of the lager in the four glasses: it goes 2”, 1/2”, 1”, etc. - all before the first refill.
