Scope and Content Plans and drawings of storehouse, 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 storehouse was built before 1819 to store wool and feathers, and doubled as a church until 1828. During World War I, when housing a British radio station, it was shelled by a German U-boat.
