Hirta Island, nell’arcipelago di St Kilda in Scozia

Hirta Island, nell’arcipelago di St Kilda in ScoziaNel 1861 gli abitanti dell’isola costruirono sedici cottage a un piano con camini e tetti in ardesia, che definivano la “strada principale”. ” Queste case sostituirono le vecchie case nere danneggiate da un uragano. La comunità viveva principalmente attraverso la coltivazione, una forma tradizionale di agricoltura su piccola scala che coinvolge coltivazioni e bestiame.

Hirta era abitata da oltre 2.000 anni, con prove archeologiche di presenza umana continua.La dieta degli isolani dipendeva in gran parte dagli uccelli marini e dalle loro uova a causa delle acque infide che rendevano difficile la pesca. All’inizio del XX secolo, la popolazione iniziò a diminuire a causa di vari fattori, tra cui le malattie causate dai turisti in visita e l’impatto della prima guerra mondiale. La popolazione è diminuita da 112 nel 1851 a soli 36 nel 1930, quando i residenti rimanenti hanno chiesto di evacuare l’isola, citando condizioni di vita insostenibili.L’isola è ora disabitata ma rimane un duplice patrimonio mondiale dell’UNESCO. Oggi ospita la fauna selvatica unica, tra cui le pecore Soay e numerose colonie di uccelli marini.Fonte: Meraviglie del passato
