Queen and Parliament of Ancient St Kilda
The article recalls St Kilda's abandoned inhabitants who named a mainland woman their queen and held a daily open air parliament. The queen died in a boating accident and the title passed to her daughter and then the prettiest island woman. The informal parliament settled small tasks by drawing lots in a cordial communal fashion.
