Stromness Museum presents 'Stromness Hometown' – an audio journey through the street - the talk of the town!

Voices of the past and the present weave an oral history of the town. The entertaining soundscape told by people of Stromness will lead you from the pier head to the cannon beyond the museum. There are eight stops - places where you can sit on a bench, or lean on a wall, and listen to voices from then and now. Or take the walk from your armchair, close your eyes and let the voices carry you along. This was created through a Stromness Museum community project funded by LEADER and Stromness THI.
