In Focus
Whitehall is the island of
Stronsay's main village and the terminus for the
ferry service from Kirkwall. Its focus is its main street, which is notable
for the impressively substantial nature of many of its properties. The village faces out into Papa
Sound from between the arms of its two piers. Whitehall
has always had close links with the sea. It takes its name from the (presumably white) house built
here by the privateer, Patrick Fea, in 1672. ( More
