St Kilda National Nature Reserve

Overview

With its dramatic landscape of sheer cliffs and sea stacks, St Kilda feels like a place perched on the edge of the world. It is Europe’s most important seabird breeding area and includes the world’s largest northern gannet colony. St Kilda has an enigmatic past and the people who lived here had a unique lifestyle, wholly dependent on the riches of the seas around Britain’s most remote point.

Best Time To Visit: May to July for seabirds and best weather.

Facilities: Seasonal warden. Small camp site. Regular NTS work parties. Booklet and leaflet. Ground very rugged and sea conditions often rough. No dogs please to prevent risk of infection to Soay sheep.

Further Information: NTS, Balnain House, 40 Huntly Street, Inverness IV3 5HR. Tel: 0844 4932 237. 

 * Access to islands other than Hirta is by prior arrangement with the seasonal warden.
