Links to other sites with information about or connections with Fair Isle

The National Trust for Scotland
Unfortunately the map only extends as far north as Orkney, but you can find Fair Isle in the 'Select A Property' drop-down list.  Don't use the 'Select A Location'  as the Northern Isles isn't listed (although Northen Islands seems to work!).
At the moment there is hardly any information about Fair Isle - and what there is is outdated.


And a St Kilda link -http://www.kilda.org.uk
