But has Boreray always been uninhabited??? I seem to recall some discoveries a year or two since, which indicated some seasonal residence there with lazy beds and primitive shelters? Any more up to date information from anyone please?
A wonderful, forbidding island to sail close alongside. I would love to land there some time.
There is a relatively new book, published in 2015, called'St Kilda: The Last and Outmost Isle". It includes a description, and some incredible photos, of an excavation/expedition to Boreray in 2010.
Thanks Marc. I will look it up. Thanks also for your own blog which we follow with interest and appreciation,
