A new exhibition to commemorate the recent 80th anniversary of the evacuation of St Kilda which for centuries was Britain’s most isolated island community, has now opened at Museum nan Eilean in Stornoway.
“Museum nan Eilean”
The temporary exhibition includes photographs from the ‘Mercy Mission’ launched by the Daily Mirror newspaper in 1912 to rescue ‘starving St Kilda’. Also on display will be a DVD containing archive footage taken in 1930 showing the preparations for the impending evacuation of the island.
Admission to the exhibition is free and Museum nan Eilean, located on Francis St in Stornoway is open to the public from Monday until Saturday from 10.00am until 5.30pm.
