The original St. Kildans built and used a number of uniquely designed drystone structures, called cleits or cleitanns, for storage purposes. With time one of the more prominent cleits had partially collasped.

Because of St Kilda`s World Heritage site status, the project was unusual in that every stone had to be replaced in its original position as shown in NTS`s record photographs and in accordance with Historic Scotland’s methodology.

The work was successfully completed to NTS`s satisfaction within the short time window available.
