Scope and Content Ministry of Defence Complex, village, Hirta, St Kilda, Hebrides St Kilda was settled in ancient times but repopulated after 1727 when a smallpox epidemic left only 30 survivors. The only village, on Hirta, was rebuilt in the 1830s and evacuated in 1930 after the population had shrunk to under 30. The Ministry of Defence complex, which includes the old school, church and manse, was erected in the 1950s when the island was used as a missile testing range. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
