The St Kilda Story is the filmed history of St Kilda from 1908 to 1980. In black and white Oliver Pike�s pioneering film of 1908 depicting birdlife and fowling; 1920s footage by Robello and Mann on tourism and village life; the final stages before the 1930 evacuation filmed by John Ritchie.

Also includes Wildlife of St Kilda filmed over 25 years from 1957. We see the competitive world of over a million seabirds - gannets, fulmars, puffins, kittewakes, gulls and by night Manx Shearwaters and the rare Leach�s Petrel. Great Skuas attack human visitors and the unique St Kilda wrens defend their territitories. Also seen are the St Kilda fieldmouse and the brown Soay sheep.
