圣基尔达

1986年，圣基尔达岛由于其自然特色和野生动物被首次列入《世界遗产名录》。今天，这里又被列为文化遗产地，成为一项综合性遗产。这片火山群岛包括4个岛屿，分别是赫塔岛、丹村岛、索厄岛和博雷岛，自1930年以来就无人居住。这里保留着人类在赫布里底群岛的极端条件下在此生活两千多年的证据。人类生活遗迹包括建筑结构、农田系统、cleits和传统的高地石屋。这些展示了当地经济易遭破坏的遗迹，这种经济建立在鸟类、农业和牧羊产品的基础之上，仅供维持生存。

This volcanic archipelago, with its spectacular landscapes, is situated off the coast of the Hebrides and comprises the islands of Hirta, Dun, Soay and Boreray. It has some of the highest cliffs in Europe, which have large colonies of rare and endangered species of birds, especially puffins and gannets. The archipelago, uninhabited since 1930, bears the evidence of more than 2,000 years of human occupation in the extreme conditions prevalent in the Hebrides. Human vestiges include built structures and field systems, the cleits and the traditional Highland stone houses. They feature the vulnerable remains of a subsistence economy based on the products of birds, agriculture and sheep farming.
