About Stroma Lighthouse
Stroma Lighthouse is a landmark. Location: Highland, Scotland.
Stroma is an uninhabited island in the Pentland Firth, between Orkney and the mainland of Scotland. It forms part of the civil parish of Canisbay in Caithness, in the Highland council area. The name comes from the Old Norse Straumey, meaning "island in the stream". Ancient stone structures testify to the presence of Stroma's earliest residents, while a Norse presence around 900–1,000 years ago is recorded in the Orkneyinga Saga. It has been politically united with Caithness since at least the 15th century.
