St Kilda
St Kilda lies 65 kilometres out into the Atlantic to the west of Scotland's Outer Hebrides. It emerged from a huge volcano more than 50 million years ago and its cliffs are taller than the Empire State Building.
St Kilda was inhabited for 3,000 years until its evacuation in 1930 and it is now home to more than a million birds. It is the UK's only dual UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of only 25 worldwide.
