any idea what happened in 1930 that would cause depopulation?

St Kilda ?

Life on the little Atlantic island of St Kilda was always tough for its inhabitants. As the new luxuries of 20th-century life improved conditions on the mainland of Scotland, little improvement seemed to trickle out to their shores. Conditions of life remained basic and worse than basic. The hard winter of 1929 led to the St Kildans needing to seek aid yet again from the mainland. Finally they decided they had had enough. The islanders petitioned for evacuation. The final destination of the 36 islanders was to be Morvern in Argyll. The story excited a great deal of coverage. This is how The Times reported it.
