Eday: the B9063 disappears into the sea It doesn't, of course, but it appears to from here. It actually gently descends and follows the coast to the ferry pier. Little Linga is the small island ahead of us, with the northern end of Stronsay beyond.

Eday: the B9063 heads for the pier The pier and ferry terminal are the destination of the B9063, seen here descending to the coastline before hugging it for a quarter of a mile or so. Stronsay is in the background.

Eday: postbox № KW17 114 and phone This postbox is of a modern design, constructed of pressed steel and designed to be more robust, rustproof and theft-proof than the traditional cast iron box that it will have replaced in the last couple of years. The box stands close to the ferry pier and, as an antidote to the modernness of the postbox, a traditional red telephone box is adjacent.
