NA0900 : Gleann Mor, St Kilda
taken 57 years ago, near to Conachair [hill or Mountain], Na h-Eileanan an Iar, Great Britain
Gleann Mor, St Kilda
On odd view of the glen, looking down the steep slope from near the top of Mullach Mor, with the remains of some of the many storage buildings on the island [cleitan]. At least two of the 'horned structures' in this valley can be seen, on the near side of the burn, in the next square. These are prehistoric buildings, but little is known about their exact date and the reason for the two 'arms' of stone that project from the main body of the building.
St Kilda, 1967
These photos are a record from a two-week visit to St Kilda in September 1967, so their quality is not of the best as they were scanned from transparencies or prints of the time. It was an interesting expedition for two mycologists from Edinburgh, arranged through the auspices of the Nature Conservancy [Scotland], to record the fungi of the islands. We travelled courtesy the army's Royal Corps of Transport on their fortnightly tank landing craft service, and stayed in the Factor's House.
