Imagine a tiny island far out in the Atlantic Ocean off the west coast of Scotland. On some days, you can hardly see where the sea ends and the land begins, just a blue-grey mist of sea spray and wind-blown sand. There is nothing but ocean between there and America. And about 65 kilometres out to sea, one last remote outcrop of islands and sea stacks, with the highest sea cliffs anywhere in the UK - St Kilda - the islands at the edge of the world.
