DunThe Dun, St Kilda
©2011 Gazetteer for Scotland
Dun is the southernmost island of the St Kilda group in the Atlantic Ocean, located immediately to the southeast of Hirta, 54 miles (86 km) west of South Harris and 35 miles (56 km) west of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides. Extending to 32 ha (69 acres) and rising to 178m (583 feet) above sea level, Dun is almost a mile (1.5 km) in length, but narrow, steep-sided and barren. The island is devoid of human population and has no sheep, thus its only inhabitants are sea birds.
