Charting Ancient Cultures on Scotland’s West Coast Susan Bain is the National Trust for Scotland’s manager for the Western Isles and she told the Evening Express that the new results were “very encouraging.” Bain pointed out that this discovery is contemporary with the remains of a souterrain, or underground grain store, that was discovered on the island in the 19th century. These few clues tell us that people were well established on St. Kilda as part of the wider settlement of the Western Isles, says Bain. Hunter Blair also told the Daily Mail that “one of the most significant problems facing archaeologists working on St. Kilda is that earlier buildings were dismantled and cleared away in order to build new ones using the old stone as a building resource.” Stone was also cleared, “including that in burial mounds” to have more extensive cultivation areas, making excavations and the discovery of evidence of the past very complicated.
