Fishing boat on Stenness beach
Fishing boat on Stenness beach
Whilst the fishing station at Stenness has been in ruins after it was abandoned when the herring were overfished, there is clearly still fishing to be had, albeit on a much smaller scale. This boat seems well maintained and secured and features in a number of geograph photos for this square over the years. The view looks over the sound to the Isle of Stenness, off limits for sea kayaking today as the sea was overly lumpy (hence our walk), with a strong and gusty wind. When accessible it features a number of natural arches for sea kayaking pleasure.
