Stromness: harbour with ferry, fishing boats

Harbour in the town of Stromness (on the island of Mainland, Orkney, above the north coast of Scotland), on a partly sunny day at the end of March 2001.

 

Fishing boats and the car ferry St Ola are docked there. Although there is a small airport on Mainland, outside the town of Kirkwall, ferries have been the primary means of reaching the islands of Orkney. The ferry company operating services to Stromness at the time when this photo was taken was P&O Scottish Ferries.
