St Kilda

On 15th May 1918 U90 under the command of Walter Remy entered the bay at Hirta at the St Kilda archipelago west of the Outer Hebrides, Scotland and using the aft deck gun they fired about 70 shells at the naval wireless signal station on the island and put it out of action. Some months later a naval 4 inch MK III gun was mounted at the island to repel any further attacks, but the war ended a few weeks after the gun had been test fired.

I am keen to obtain further information about the U boat shelling of the island and also the mounting of the 4 inch gun on the island. Can anyone please help me?
