EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century, specifically May 26th, 1923. We find ourselves transported to Hirta, the main island of the St Kilda archipelago, where a small village known as "Home to the St Kidans" stands proudly amidst its bleak and remote surroundings. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of life in this isolated settlement. The rugged landscape serves as a dramatic backdrop, emphasizing both the resilience and resourcefulness of its inhabitants. Despite their isolation from mainland Scotland, these villagers have carved out their own existence on this windswept island. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we notice that it was taken by Planman on August 17th, 2010. However, our focus remains firmly fixed on the scene unfolding before us nearly nine decades prior. The simplicity and authenticity of this village are palpable; there is an undeniable sense of community among its residents. Though far removed from modern conveniences and luxuries enjoyed elsewhere during that era, one can't help but admire their tenacity and spirit. This Memory Lane Print offers us an intriguing glimpse into history - reminding us that even in some of Earth's most remote corners lies evidence of human endeavor and perseverance against all odds.
