- Cleit abstract "A cleit is a stone storage hut or bothy, uniquely found on the isles and stacs of St Kilda ; whilst many are still to be found they are slowly falling into disrepair. There are known to be 1,260 cleaten on Hirta and a further 170 on the other group islands.The outlying island of Boreray has the Cleitean MacPhàidein, a "cleit village" of three small bothies used on a regular basis during fowling expeditions from Hirta. As a result of a smallpox outbreak on Hirta in 1724, three men and eight boys were marooned on Boreray until the following May.Cleitean were used to store a wide variety of produce, such as:cured fish,eggs (which were buried in peat ash)feathers fishing gear grains such as wheat, barley and oats,hay manurepeatpotatoesropes salted lamb salted seabird carcasses"The wind beats down upon the walls, lifting the thatch, prefiguring a storm. Crabs, fieldmice, Horniegolachs, creeping and crawling things seek shelter in the cleits, abandoned cottages and kirk". Norman Bissett, Leaving St Kilda, 1999".
