Sharing St Kilda’s secrets

St Kilda is, without doubt, one of the most intriguing and enticing places that the National Trust for Scotland protects.

It has a special place in the hearts of many, including those who have not yet visited, or will never travel there. People are always fascinated to know what it’s like to spend time there.

So this summer it’s been fantastic to have ranger Sue Loughran keep us all up to date with her adventures.

From her arrival on a bright, blue-skied day, the island’s retail opportunities and her role in welcoming visitors, she’s blogging about it all.

These pieces provide an insight into the varied role of a ranger in such a remote location, and highlight how much Sue, her colleagues and the dedicated volunteers do, day in day out, to care for St Kilda.

The National Trust for Scotland works every day to protect Scotland’s national and natural treasures. From coastlines to castles, art to architecture, wildlife to wilderness, we protect all of this For the Love of Scotland.

In Our Strategy for Protecting Scotland’s Heritage 2018–23, we set out how we’re planning to work towards our vision that Scotland’s heritage is valued by everyone and protected now, and for future generations.
