A named place photographed at this map point in Na h-Eileanan Siar.
The southernmost point of Hirta, part of the St Kilda archipelago, is a remote and windswept location that was once home to one of the most isolated communities in the British Isles. The island's inhabitants, who lived there until 1930, were known for their resilience and unique cultural traditions, and the site is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical and archaeological significance.
