I think a better place would be to stay in the isle of dogs

The story of St Kilda I found fascinating, from a population eating salted birds hand caught on cliffs to the extreme weather owing to the location. 

A sad yet understandable end to the island being populated, on a permanent basis anyway.

Yes the deaths of newborn babies, they anointed the navels with sea bird oil, stored in bladders, =infection killed most.An english nurse went there & identified the problem, gone on for generations , & the number of men lost over cliffs, harvesting birds & eggs, I seem to thing the first shells of first war were fired at a naval radio station, by a German  vessel.
