Photos: St Kilda radar tracking base revamp plans

28 October 2016

The Ministry of Defence intends to redevelop the radar tracking base on St Kilda.

 

Drawings indicate the new buildings will blend in better compared to the present 50-year-old military structures.

The village on the main island of Hirta was laid out in the 1830s, although many of the blackhouses constructed were destroyed in a great storm in 1860 and had to be replaced by the structures we see today.

 

The intensely dramatic, jagged landscape of towering cliffs and sea stacs support the largest seabird colony in the north-east Atlantic, their size and diversity of global significance.
