Hirta from Loch Hiort
Hirta from Loch Hiort
An early morning view from the tank landing craft that had brought us to St Kilda. The ridge is the southern limb of Mullach Mòr, and the valley that of Abhainn Mhòr. Oiseval is casting a shadow on the valley. The middle of three images that would make a panorama.
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.
