Stromness is a picturesque place. I particularly liked the cobbled streets and the individual houses that extend from the harbor. The statue is small.

It completes the town

Easy access. Right outside a nice little shop

John Rae represents the city's heyday. Stromness - the gray city. Its appeal unfolds at second glance. The small port town has remained unchanged for centuries and has retained its original maritime charm with its narrow, winding streets, terraced houses and steep corridors. The stone houses are grey, where is the color supposed to come from here, and they are simple. The sea has always determined life in this place. The harbor itself was once important, being a safe haven for the Vikings, a whaling station and important for herring and cod fishing. Stromness Bay is a deep anchorage, primarily sheltered from south-westerly storms. Larger ships could find shelter here. As a port of last call ", Stromness was an important port for the British Navy and the starting point for British overseas expeditions. John Franklin and others were here. The main street, paved with wide, flat stones, winds its way from the harbour

John Rae (1813 - 1893) was a Scottish surgeon who explored parts of Northern Canada. Rae explored Boothia Gulf, northwest of Hudson Bay, from 1846 to 1847, and the Arctic coast near Victoria Island from 1848 to 1851. In 1854, back in Boothia Gulf, he obtained credible information from local Inuit peoples about the fate of the Franklin expedition, which disappeared in the area in 1848. Rae was known for his physical endurance, skill in hunting, boat handling, use of native methods, and ability to travel long distances with little equipment while living off the land. Rae was born at the Hall of Clestrain in Orkney. (Wikipedia)

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. (Wikipedia)
