Stromness is a famous old maritime town that has been a safe and welcoming harbour since Viking times. • It has remained relatively unchanged for centuries, retaining its original charm with narrow winding streets, stone houses and steep lanes and closes, all leading to its iconic waterfront and harbour. • It’s also a town full of history. You can discover maritime heritage, from the proud ships of the Hudson’s Bay Company and busy herring boats of times past, to modern day fishing and diving vessels. Stromness has also long inspired artists, writers and craftspeople. Visit the acclaimed Pier Arts Centre and Stromness Museum to find out more, or just slowly stroll along the street and enjoy the sights, sounds and shops of the town. • Experience it all for yourself with our special Stromness itinerary at http://bit.ly/Stromness • To help you plan your trip, Destination Orkney's 'See you at the Weekend' promotion features a great range of enticing seasonal offers, including some fantastic accommodation and touring deals, as well as inspiring itinerary ideas and films to help you make the most of your stay.
