does anyone know if you can go on day trips to stroma?
tried searching the stroma homepage but could only find information regarding boat trips around it and just wondered if you can actually go on a day trip onto the island.

It depends on the weather but they usually go on a Saturday or Sunday. James Simpson at Gills has the boat. Sorry i don't know the number.

cheers lol, shouldnt be hard to find out, thanks
We used to do this in our pub a few years ago now. About thirty of us would go for a day and have football, rounders etc. Then a bar-b-que and a few beers. It was a great day out.

Don't go if you're a bad sailor. I went with some friends in Jimmy Simpson's boat once and the weather changed while we were on the island so we had to return earlier than planned. Got quite exciting mid-channel and very wet :eek: . Definitely worth it though, it's an amazing place although all the deserted houses are rather sad.

Does anyone know when the next Stroma gathering is?
My husbands family used to live on the island when it was still habited many moons ago.

Stroma,to me through stories told to me in ma ages in Caithness are varied from a community used to live there to it being the new Alcatraz.Forget the conspiracy theories,what is the real truth?

It is an old abbandond Island a bit like StKilda, if you go to the Photo section Reghead has posted some photos he took when he was over there,all very interesting.
He will take 8 persons over for £15 each.
Could you please give me his number. I am home in a fortnight and am planning to go across to Stroma, weather permitting. Cheers

It couldn't happen. Too much Anti-Stromasexual feeling on the boards ;o)

Have sent you a pm. Wm. simpson will take you over. Trips are usually on a sat or sunday, and you can have several hours on the island.
