Thank you Fiona. Unfortunately the Stronsay Hotel website no longer works, which caused me to wonder if they were still in business. It redirects to generic search page (that has NOTHING to do with Stronsay). Apparently they have lost the domain name. I did send off an email to the address given, however, I fear that it really won't get to them. I feel that a phone call is in order. I hope that your 4th visit is a real treat. I know that this one won't be my last. So many islands, so little time :-) Tony Pavick Pittsburgh PA USA At 12:10 27/06/2004, Fiona wrote: >Have just had a look in my wonderful, gorgeous 2004 brochure for the >smaller Orkney Islands, and the website for the Stronsay Hotel is: >www.stronsayhotel.com >3 star rating, members of the Orkney Tourist Board >Blurb; "Stronsay Hotel - Recently refurbished hotel, 4 bedrooms with >en-suite facilities, special needs facilities.

Stronsay Hotel changed hands a few weeks ago. If email bounces let me know and I'll pop around there and enquire. -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney http://uk.geocities.com/ricardian@btinternet.com/
