- Stroma,_Scotland abstract "Stroma is an island off the northern coast of the Scottish mainland. It is the most southerly of the islands in the Pentland Firth between the Orkney Islands and Caithness. The name is from the Old Norse Straumr-øy meaning "island in the [tidal] stream".The low-lying island was inhabited from prehistoric times to 1962, when the last of its permanent inhabitants abandoned it for new homes on the mainland. Ancient stone structures on the islands testify to its earliest occupants, while a Norse presence around 900–1,000 years ago is recorded in the Orkneyinga Saga. Stroma has been united politically with the mainland region of Caithness since at least the 15th century. Although it lies only a few miles off the Scottish coast, the savage weather and ferociously strong tides of the Pentland Firth meant that the island's inhabitants were very isolated. They were largely self-sufficient, by necessity, trading agricultural produce and fish with the mainlanders.Most of the islanders were fishermen and crofters, with some also working as maritime pilots to guide vessels through the treacherous waters of the Pentland Firth. The tides and currents meant that shipwrecks were frequent—the most recent occurring as recently as 1993—and salvage provided an additional though often illegal supplement to the islanders' incomes. A lighthouse was built on Stroma in 1890 and still operates today under automation.Stroma is now abandoned, with the houses of its former inhabitants unoccupied and falling into ruin. Its population fell gradually through the first half of the 20th century as inhabitants drifted away to seek better economic opportunities elsewhere, as economic problems and Stroma's isolation made life on the island increasingly unsupportable. From an all-time peak of 375 people in 1901, the population fell to just 12 by 1961 and the last islanders left at the end of the following year. The island is now owned by one of its former inhabitants, who uses it to graze the cattle and sheep which are now its only occupants.".
