Every building in Stronsay has a unique story to tell. Some have lengthy and well-documented histories; others are still writing their first chapters. For the purposes of this heritage trail, we decided to highlight twenty-one of the buildings or locations in Whitehall Village and the Lower Station, marking them with a plaque which briefly summarises its importance to the heritage of the island. On this page, we want to add a bit more information, but we particularly want to document the history through images. The numbers before the name correspond with those shown on the map on the Introduction page. Unnumbered are mentioned on the interpretation board in front of the current hotel, and, in some cases, are no longer standing.
