Stromness

Stromness, the second-largest settlement on Orkney, is a charming harbour town with a rich history and a vibrant cultural scene. Nestled on the coast of Hoy Sound, Stromness boasts a picturesque setting, with narrow cobbled streets, colourful houses, and a bustling harbour dotted with fishing boats and ferries.
The view from the quay towards the town is also a must-capture. Take a moment to admire the bustling harbour and the quaint houses lining the harborfront, their reflections shimmering in the water.
