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

@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.
