St. Kilda Archipelago (Google Maps)

Initially inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List for its outstanding natural features and wildlife in 1986, the site’s inscription was extended in 2005 to cover its cultural value, thus becoming a mixed site.

From the UNESCO Advisory Body Evaluation:
The archipelago of St. Kilda, the remotest part of the British Isles, lies 66 km west of Benbecula in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Its islands, with their exceptional cliffs and sea stacs, form the most important seabird breeding station in north-west Europe. There is archaeological evidence of habitation from over 2,000 years. The islanders evacuated St. Kilda in 1930.
