The National Trust for Scotland is recruiting for an archaeologist to monitor and update sites on the remote archipelago of St Kilda.
The Trust, which owns the islands, said it was a rare opportunity to work at a Unesco Dual World Heritage site.
Based in Inverness and on St Kilda the post holder will be able to investigate and research the islands’ rich historic environment which is dominated by remains from the 19th and 20th century.
The last St Kildans requested the government to aid their evacuation from the islands because life had become too difficult – they left their remote homeland for mainland Harris on the 29th August 1930.
