St. Kildas Sunday Markets, Saint Kilda

St. Kilda Sea Baths

St. Kilda Sea Baths, Saint Kilda

 allikat Says:  I think if I lived in St. Kilda, I'd spend my cold-weather days here. The Sea Baths seemed to have so much on offer, probably a far cry to what was there in the 1850s. A large heated indoor sea-water swimming pool, hydrotherapy spa, steam room, a gym overlooking Port Phillip... 

The Lady of St. Kilda

St. Kilda Pier and Kiosk, Saint Kilda
