Old photograph of people by the bathing pool on the coast by Stronsay, Orkney Islands, Scotland. Deriving from Old Norse Strjónsey, " island of good harvest " or " star island " , it was settled by Vikings in the 8th and 9th centuries. It has a long history of Pictish Christian influence, indicated by ruins on neighbouring Papa Stronsay.
