Fantastic, great production. I find it super amazing that I am watching this on the other side of the world (New Zealand). I bet the shy little glances made by the Islanders would never ever thought in their wildest imagination that they would be being viewed over 80 years later with so much fascination. An nice nostalgic, even emotional watch.

oh such a lovely production. I am really enjoying this folk-tune accompanying the photos.

Beautiful and sad. Loved the bairns on Skye, they all look so happy. I too have been fascinated by St. Kilda for many years, and this is some of the best footage I have ever seen. FANTASTIC

RAMBLE........................­I would love to be able to ramble amongst St Kildans. Not to patronise but just appreciate the way of life (however prehistoric to our soft times). I think you are on a wind up.

[Stationario]

The arrogance of the film makers at the time. Describing the St Kildans as 'natives' Ok a different era, but how many communities around the world have been infected by so called progress and subsequently died.

Would love to go there and feel what it must have been like

@Stationario: What is wrong with describing the natives as 'natives' ? Am I missing something here people? You then go on about a 'different era' but you don't explain what you are on about! I think what best describes you is 'rambling'!!

@Stationario Being native to a place means it's where you were born and bred. In this sense, we are all native to some place.

This is the first place I'm going to go after I graduate. This island has captivated me for years, thanks for posting this vid!

I barrack for the Australian football team St Kilda. Not that it has much to do with it. But this is just amazing. I don't know what it is that makes isolated things intriguing and vanished worlds romantic, but these grainy pics, the music reinforces those spirits within us and begs the question, "What if/" "What if the community on the island was encouraged to stay/? Surely some must have wanted to?"

@mistersmith6000 St. Kilda in Australia was first populated by ex pat St. Kildans - hence the name.

[mistersmith6000]

@TheAnn2shoes

Mnn I'm not surprised to know that. The people of the place still seem to have a certain quality - a countenance that tells them apart as outer hebrideans. Not to mention their awkward version of Gaelic, which I find hard to understand at the best of times.

[TheAnn2shoes]

@mistersmith6000 I presume you mean some of the people who live in St. Kilda, Australia?

@TheAnn2shoes

I think you need to check your facts on that one! St Kilda, Australia did not get its name from the islander's migrating there.

[TheAnn2shoes]

@PHGSPB Yep you're right, I was wrong - I've just checked.

[haggisscouse]
