Explore Brinkie's Brae, the storied hills of Stromness where in ancient times beacon fires warned of danger, a weather witch sold fair winds to sailors and lovers trysted. Hear the stories, then climb the brae and take in breathtaking views of Orkney's land, sea and sky.
This is Brinkie's Brae, a conspicuous part of Stromness and its history. It's a steep climb to the top, but the views are well worth it. You can see Scapa Flow spread out in front of you, and the busy Stromness harbour with its passenger vessels and fishing boats heading out into Hoy Sound.
