Inventory of 6 deserted islands forgotten by the world
1. St. Kildare Tower (Scotland)The Kildare Islands off the distant Hebrides are the largest of the Scottish archipelagos. It is said that the Hirta may have been settled for about 2,000 years before they were finally abandoned in the 1930s. Life would have been difficult for the St. Kildaans, who faced cold winters and lived by hunting the island's seabirds. Today, the island is the largest seabird colony in this part of the Atlantic Ocean.
