	THE CLEITEAN OF THE SAINT-KILDA ARCHIPELAGO
		The largest - Hirta - is renowned for its myriad small drystone buildings - called cleitean (plural of cleit) in Scottish Gaelic and cleits in English - that were used as all-purpose storage huts until 1930 when the last remaining islanders left for the mainland.
		If Dame Grange had had to elect Hirta as her abode then, in all likelihood it must have been one of the houses of the time rather than a cleit that was never meant for such a purpose.
		Kildans of old would not have been able to survive the harsh climate, isolation, scarce resources, lack of comfort, the hold the 19th clergy had over them and the yearly seigniorial levies which was their lot from the late 17th century up till the early 20th century.
