Storage solutions St Kilda Style.

Everywhere you look, stretching up to the horizon.

Cleits;

Cool.

Extremely well ventilated.

Constructed from locally available materials.

Perfect for storing eggs, feathers, crops, peat and turf.

Alternative uses: a perfect home for nesting birds and primitive sheep should your storage needs change; perhaps if you decided to move away to the mainland.

Photos from my trip to St Kilda in August.
