St Kilda, Britain's Loneliest Isle

St Kilda, Britain's Loneliest Isle (1928) is a short, silent film about St Kilda, an isolated archipelago to the west of Scotland, and the final period of its habitation.

In the 1920s, John McCallum & Co., the steamship company running a service between Glasgow and St Kilda, commissioned the 18-minute silent documentary film, directed by Paul Robello and Bobbie Mann. Filmed primarily in 1923, it included scenes and people on Hirta, the main island of the archipelago.[1] The film shows the St Kilda men hunting fulmar on the cliff face. It was released in 1928.[2] The permanent population of St Kilda was evacuated in 1930.

The film is available for viewing on the National Library of Scotland web site.[1]

In May 2010, the film was inscribed in UNESCO's UK Memory of the World Register.[3][4]
