| About
Stromness: |
The burgh of Stromness
is Orkney's major seaport. It first attracted sailors
for the fine anchorage provided by Hamnavoe and has provided
a haven for mariners for centuries, being the last port
of call before many a transatlantic voyage. In the 1620s
the bishop of Orkney issued feus on the site of the modern
day town. the narrow winding thoroughfare is a feature
which is particularly pleasing to visitors with houses
gable-end towards the street and the seafront, the latter
having many private jetties.

| About
Scrabster: |
On the far North 'edge'
of Scotland, Scrabster was and still is the gateway to
the Northern lands of Orkney, Shetland, Scandinavia and
the Faroe Islands; links which are as strong now as they
ever were.
By 1856 a ferry from Scrabster to Stromness had begun
to operate and just six years later a lighthouse was planned
and built at Holborn Head. The harbour was extended in
1897 with the lengthening of the ferry quay and the building
of a new quay.
