Summary
| Description |
English: Boreray Coastal View The island of Sgarbhstac and the rocky point of Gob Scapanais lie inside the square. Stac Lee is shown in the background. Every September, the St Kildans would undertake the dangerous task of hunting the young Gannets, or Gugas, on Boreray and its two great stacks. They had to climb the steep cliffs, barefoot, at night. The night's kill was thrown into the sea for the boat to collect, with some birds left in cleits as a food supply for the next expedition to the island. Women climbed Boreray too, and could carry a sheep or lambs while doing so. (Source: "The Life and Death of St Kilda", by Tom Steel) |
