The Mistress Stone
There is a story that young men of St Kilda, before they could marry, had to prove they were able to provide for a family by climbing the rocks to catch birds for food. They had to balance on their left foot over the edge of a protruding rock, place their right foot in front, bend down and make a fist over their feet. This balancing act was proof of their agility on the rocks.
At least two rock outcrops are associated with this legend – the Lover's Stone and the Mistress Stone.
