For more than 2,000 years the people of St Kilda remained remote from the world. Their society was viable, utopian even; but in the 19th century the islands were discovered by missionaries, do-gooders and tourists, who brought with them money, disease and despotism. In 1930, the few remaining islanders were evacuated, no longer able to support themselves. An exploration of the life and death of the remote Hebridean society, Island on the Edge of the World is a moving account of human endeavour. Maclean's is the classic history of the island.
