Abstract
St Kilda (Pl. V), the largest of a group of four islands located some 50 miles west of Harris in Latitude 57° 49′ N., Longitude 8° 34′ W., has an extreme length and breadth of 2½ by 1¾ miles and a circumference of about 8¾ miles. The highly indented coast-line is guarded by almost impregnable cliffs except in the Village Bay or Loch Hirta where there is a strip of sand a quarter of a mile long backed by a great storm-beach. The two principal inlets of the sea, Village Bay or Loch Hirta, and the Glen Bay open to the south-east and north-west respectively.Keywords
