EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of St Kildans, the hardy inhabitants of the remote and ruggedly beautiful St Kilda archipelago off the northwest coast of Scotland, tending to their famous Soay sheep. The image, taken on the largest island in the group, Hirta, during the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the daily life of these islanders who have lived in isolation for centuries. The dry-stone wall in the background, a common feature of the landscape, serves as a testament to their resourcefulness and resilience. The Soay sheep, with their distinctive curly horns and wool, are a rare and historical breed, known for their hardiness and ability to thrive in harsh conditions. The St Kildans have long relied on these sheep for their livelihood, using their wool for clothing and their meat for sustenance. The photograph not only showcases the unique relationship between the islanders and their sheep but also offers a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this fascinating and isolated community.
