📌 Village on the Isle of Stronsay, Orkney Isles
★
Stronsay is a gangly island described as being “all arms and legs” in several tourist brochures – nowhere is more than about a mile from the coast. Located on the skinny northeastern arm is Whitehall, Stronsay’s main settlement, harbour and the only place on the island larger than a few houses. This was once a major fishing port; nowadays the herring fleets have largely been replaced by the odd dinghy and a few sleepy black guillemots.
