Scope and Content Plan of The Bull's House, 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 Bull's House was built in the 19th century on common land to accommodate a bull sent to the island by the Department of Agriculture. It is similar to other structures in the Hebrides built for the same purpose. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
