Abandonment day for St Kilda

Today, 29th August, is the 79th anniversary of the last people to leave the Scottish island of St Kilda http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/hig ... 226450.stm
There's a nice story about an old boy who remembers leaving the island back in 1930 here too http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/ ... a-hebrides
