St Kilda is a remote island group in the North Atlantic, historically associated with St Kilda, a 7th-century hermit after whom the islands are named. The Christ Church on Hirta, the main island, reflects the medieval Christian heritage of the area, though no specific saintly cult or cure is prominently linked to the site in recorded folklore.
