Scope and Content Plan of Church and Schoolroom, 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 Church and Manse were built in 1828 to plans drawn up by Robert Stevenson in 1826. The schoolroom was added in 1897-1900. In its heyday it accommodated about 20 children.
