The St Kildans climbed barefoot up the sheer cliffs, killing birds and gathering their eggs to survive. Over hundreds of years, they adapted to the job. There is a species of St Kilda wren, a St Kilda mouse, and there is, it’s said, a St Kilda toe, an elongated big toe that let the men cling more easily to the crevices in the rocks. On our Northern Light Charters boat out to the island, one of the men was the son of a St Kildan woman, who left as a child. We were agog when he got on his trek sandals – his big toe was preternaturally enormous.
