Stromness From the Sea
We wanted to share this lovely little film about Stromness with our blog readers. It has been made by P6 pupils at Stromness Primary School working with the Stromness THI team as part of the wider 'Stromness from the Sea' project.
After learning about the history of Stromness and its relationship with the sea, the pupils carried out research, wrote the script, did all the drawing and animation, and recorded the soundtrack, in collaboration with teachers and local experts.

A rainy day in Stromness
It is not the nicest of days in Stromness today, though when the sun shines off the wet street it is kind of bonny.
If you are looking for something to do to keep out of the weather today then you are in luck - as you are just in time to catch the final day of the exhibition 'An Island Gateway', which is on show upstairs in our exhibition room.
Featuring works by local artists John Cumming, Diana Leslie and Rik Hammond, and participants of the community workshops, along with poetry by Morag MacInnes, the exhibition explores the unique identity of Stromness through its architecture and heritage. Further work from the project is also on display in the newly refurbished former Commercial Hotel in Victoria Street, which will be open today from 10am- 2pm for folk to view the building and art work, along with details of the upcoming Stromness website and information about other council projects.
The refurbishment of the Commercial Hotel is part of the Stromness Townscape Heritage Initiative, which has seen many buildings along the street being renovated and restored. This project, and the exhibition, have been supported by Orkney Islands Council, Historic Scotland, The National Lottery Heritage Lottery Fund, Awards for All Scotland, and the European Regional Development Fund.
