Stromness Old Town

Stromness is a village on Mainland, Orkney (Scotland), located by a natural harbor on the south-west side of the island. The name of the village is probably derived from the Norwegian Straumrnes, a point of land near Hoy Sound.
In 1670 the place became a starting and ending point for the ships of the Hudson's Bay Company on their way to and returning from Canada.
In terms of size, Stromness is the second largest on the island after Kirkwall. The village has a fishing port and ferry connections to the islands of Graemsay and Hoy and to Scrabster on mainland Scotland.
