St Kilda Scotland

Though St. Kilda may have had a standing population of up to 180 residents for over 2000 years, it has had no permanent residents since 1930. To get an idea of how historically isolated St. Kilda has been, anecdotes say that islanders would communicate with the rest of the world one of two ways By climbing to the highest point on the island and lighting a bonfire, or by placing messages into tiny carved boats and sending them out to sea.
