April 7th 1982: RFA Stromness sails from Portsmouth with 45 Commando Royal Marines on board, bound for Ascension...

Very Captain Aubrey behaviour from Stromness

No, but more because of the Stromness-style closeness to other houses.

A game of secrets and lies. 'Bloody Orkney' is a fast-paced thriller set in Scotland, mainly in Orkney, during WW2. Stromness has changed since 1942 but would still be recognisable to the book's characters.

Summer bus timetable now in place in #Orkney & there's now hourly buses from Kirkwall to #SkaraBrae via Stromness, the Stones of Stenness & Ring of Brodgar. So a walk at Skaill bay seemed the right choice today! I ❤️ my local bus service #HeartOfNeolithicOrkney #WorldHeritageSite

One thing I was not expecting to find at Skara Brae: Captain Cook’s dinner service, given as a gift of condolence to the wife of the local laird, who had just died. Stromness was the 1st British port of call for the Resolution & Discovery on their return from Cook’s 3rd voyage.

Stromness barracks tonight. An evening walk.

Magnus Davidson Strictly speaking, the author might be correct but only if one forgets that the quoted 25 mile sea crossing is between Scrabster and Stromness. I reckon you could almost get 25 miles out of Portskerra to somewhere on Hoy… 🤷🏻‍♂️

pauline black Is there a companion piece to Peter Maxwell Davies 'Farewell to Stromness' called 'Hello to Stromness'?
