#OnThisDay, 29 Aug 1930, the last 36 St Kildan islanders left for the Scottish mainland. Williamina Barclay was the island's nurse and had raised their request to leave. She then oversaw the evacuation as the government's representative on the island.
Watch footage of the evacuation here: https://movingimage.nls.uk/film/0793
And read first hand testimony of why the islanders left: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/mar/24/last-man-st-kilda-evacuation
