« on: Saturday 15 August 15 07:45 BST (UK) »
Hi  :)
 I would like to know if the  isle of Stroma is in Orkney or Caithness. Please I would love to know as I have found new family there.

According to this site it is officially part of Caithness http://www.lonely-isles.com/stroma/Home.htm

The Wiki entry is quite detailed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroma,_Scotland

The Wick distillery, Old Pultney, has produced a liqueur whisky called "Stroma", and very nice it is too.  ;D

Skoosh.
