National Trust for Scotland St Kilda
The archipelago of St Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, lies 41 miles (66 kilometres) west of Benbecula in Scotland's Outer Hebrides. Its islands with their exceptional cliffs and sea stacs, form the most important seabird breeding station in north-west Europe. The evacuation of its native population in 1930 brought to a close an extraordinary story of survival.

Visit the Hebrides
Nowhere else will you find such diversity of landscapes and species, arts, crafts and music: the islands have an abundance of beautiful habitats... peaceful, unspoilt and natural. Fresh water and sea lochs unsurpassable in their beauty and abundance provide a great resource for fishermen and bird life.

A voluntary group based in North Uist. This group is made up of those who work on the seas, enjoy the sea as a leisure activity and who recognise the important part that the sea plays in island life. SNH have been involved with this group through the Loch nam Madadh marine SAC
