Martin Martin's account of his voyage to St. Kilda is a classic of Scottish topography. Martin, a native of Skye, visited St. Kilda in 1697. An account of his trip was first published in 1698 as "A Late Voyage to St. Kilda". A number of subsequent editions appeared; the fourth in 1753, with the title simply as "A Voyage to St. Kilda".

This new edition in eBook format supplements the text with photographs taken by Cherry Kearton. These represent a selection of images used to illustrate his brother Richard's book "With Nature and a Camera", first published in 1897. The Keartons' work is equally a classic, providing us with a documentary record of the St. Kildan way of life in late Victorian times.

The book is further supplemented by photographs taken by the editor from a visit made in July 2011. Thus the work presents a view of St. Kilda from the late 17th century to the present day, in a manner intended to whet the appetite of the reader into further interest and research. The St. Kilda archipelago is a World Heritage Site. Much material has already been written on St. Kilda but undoubtedly research into this fascinating heritage will continue as new perspectives emerge.
