130 THE GANNET 



The St. Kilda Gannetries, though commonly spoken of 

 as if at St. Kilda, are says Dr. Wiglesworth, on the magnificent 

 cliffs on the west and north sides of the much smaller island 

 of Borrera, four miles further north, and on two precipitous 

 stacks which rise out of the water near it, known as Stack 

 an Armine, 592 feet high, and Stack Lii, 533 feet high. 

 For photographs of Borrera, Lii and Armine, and other 

 St. Kildian islands, I owe my thanks to the late Professor

Newton. I must at the same time not forget to thank 

 another friend — Mr. J. A. Harvie-Brown, whose knowledge 

 of the Scottish islands is derived from many years' ac- 

 quaintance with them — for a great deal of information. 



It is clear that there are more Gannets on these three 

 islands than anywhere else in the world, and that we cannot 

 be wrong in calling St. Kilda the Gannets' metropolis,
