In 1527 Hector Boece, the first Principal of King`s College Aberdeen, wrote in his extensive ` History of the Scottish People` of an island of rocky crags & prehistoric sheep, which could only be reached through extreme danger to life. It was, he explained, `the last & outmaist Ile` of Scotl&. It was St Kilda. St Kilda breaks the waters of the Atlantic Ocean some 100 miles west of the mainl&, & 40 miles west of the Outer Hebridean island of North Uist. On clear days it appears as a dark silhouette on a distant horizon. Approach it, & it resolves into seven shapes
- the four islands of Hirta, Boreray, Soay & Dun, & three towering sea stacks. It is an enigmatic & awe-inspiring landscape, a starkly beautiful vision of `life on the edge` which has fascinated everyone from travellers, antiquarians & conservationists to writers, film crews & tourists. &, perhaps as a result, it is one of the most mythologised & misunderstood places on earth. Archaeologists Angela Gannon & George Geddes have spent over nine months living & working on St Kilda, & have been part of a team which has been researching its complex & remarkable history for more than a decade. In this new book they turn the popular perception of the archipelago on its head. St Kilda, they argue, has never existed in total isolation, but has always been linked to a network of communities scattered across the north western seaboard & the Highlands of Scotl&. ` The Last & Outmost Isle` pulls St Kilda back from the `end of the world` to tell a compelling story of triumph over geographical adversity. What makes these islands so special is not their distance from `civilisation`, but rather their enduring capacity to remain a living, connected part of Scotland over the course of some three thousand years.

St Louis IGN Map

One of the titles in a series of topographic maps covering much of north-west Africa, produced as part of the IMW* project in 1960’s. Each map covers an area spanning 6° in longitude and 4° in latitude. There is some variation in colouring and the depiction of terrain, but hill-shading, spot heights and contours are used to show the general relief. Additional graphics show features such as dunes, rock outcrops, cliffs, sand areas, escarpments, marshes, seasonal lakes and watercourses, and areas liable to flooding. Bathymetric contours are also included.Communications detail includes roads, major trails and railways, although there is some inconsistency in colouring and the extent of classification, e.g. not all maps distinguish seasonal roads. On most maps intermediate
road distances are indicated on main routes. Symbols show airports, mosques, mines, oil and gas fields, lighthouses, ruins and significant isolated buildings. Administrative boundaries are marked and latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 1° intervals, with further margin ticks at 1’ intervals. The map legend is in French only on some sheets, and in English and French on others.*The International Map of the World was a project conceived in the early 20th century to compile a world map series at 1:1, 000, 000 through the efforts of participating nations. The value of the program has declined since 1970 and the IMW is no longer regarded as an active international series.
