Stromness history and heritage highlights
Показать описание
The maritime town of Stromness has a rich history and heritage to explore.
It has been a safe harbour since Viking towns and its stone streets and houses, winding lanes and narrow closes all fit snugly around the waterfront.
From the Hudson’s Bay Company to whaling ships and herring boats of the past, to the busy, bustling fishing port and dive centre of today, Stromness has always been shaped by the sea. You can explore its maritime heritage at the town’s museum, and see work by its artists at the Pier Arts Centre. There’s more history to be had just by strolling through the atmospheric old streets too.
