#OTD in 1930, 36 islanders from St Kilda were evacuated to the mainland on a ship called the 'Harebell'.

According to tradition, a small amount of oats and an open Bible was left in each house.

Video footage of the evacuation is available on @Scranlife: https://t.co/bnNVg4HYbl

@SoaySheep Great photo. I wonder if you would mind if we used it on our website, to accompany a St. Kildan lullaby about a bird watching a woman and her baby through the rocks? Full credit would be given of course. Thanks.

A' smaointinn air imrich an-diugh - o na h-Eileanan; thar na Mara Meadhanaich - agus na roghainnean a tha ro dhaoine, agus nach eil.

Thinking about #migration today - from the Western Isles; across the Med - and the choices people have, and don't have.
