Dr John Rae Statue
Highlight • Monument
Rae explored the Gulf of Boothia, northwest of Hudson Bay, from 1846 to 1847, and the Arctic coast off Victoria Island from 1848 to 1851. Back in the Gulf of Boothia in 1854, he obtained credible information from local Inuit people about the fate of the Franklin Expedition, which had disappeared in the area in 1848. Rae was known for his physical stamina, skill in hunting, handling boats, use of native methods, and ability to travel long distances with little equipment while living off the land.
Rae was born in the Hall of Clestrain in Orkney.

Stromness Old Town
Highlight • Settlement
In 1670 the place became a starting and ending point for the ships of the Hudson's Bay Company on their way to and returning from Canada.
In terms of size, Stromness is the second largest on the island after Kirkwall. The village has a fishing port and ferry connections to the islands of Graemsay and Hoy and to Scrabster on mainland Scotland.
