St Kilda is a group of five remote islands and sea stacs in the North Atlantic, 100 miles off the west coast of Scotland. The islands are home to the largest colony of seabirds in northern Europe, including nearly 20% of the world’s population of northern gannets.

In July 2005, St Kilda became one of a few World Heritage Sites to hold dual status for both its natural and cultural qualities.
