Stroma slipway (Nethertown)
This slipway sits at the north end of Stroma, an island in the Pentland Firth off Gills Bay that has been uninhabited since the 1960s. A pier and slipway were built here in 1894, the island's first landing place; a boat still uses it seasonally, carrying day visitors and sheep-workers over from Gills Bay in summer.
