A Scottish archipelago was entirely evacuated in 1930

Saint-Kilda is an isolated Scottish archipelago whose population fell below 100 inhabitants after 1851. The islanders were entirely evacuated at their own request in 1930 due to the harsh living conditions. The only permanent inhabitants there are now military personnel since the establishment of a base in 1957.
