Stromness Piers

Yesterday I blipped a Stromness Pier; it has more than one name. 
 
This is from Stromness Museum regarding the older piers:
The line of piers stretching the length of Stromness survives today much as it was in the late 19th century. Although the way the piers are used has changed, they remain an important part of Stromness' identity. 
The names of the piers are to some extent fluid. Some are more fixed than others and some have a few names. Often the piers adopt the names of the people who use them and the list of collected names reads like a Stromness census of the past.

‘Stromness was to be no model village….The only plan was to fit as many buildings and piers as practically possible into the narrow, uneven strips between the hill and the sea….[The stone masons] built the slips and piers where small vessels would tie up at high tide to load or disperse their cargoes; and where officers of the passing trade – chiefly the larger vessels that moored offshore – could land to conduct their business and enjoy a convivial glass at one or other house of refreshment.’
