CCWS - A to Z of Caithness Places - Stroma - First Bus Tour To Stroma 1950

Pictures From Dinah Dowding
The bus was one of the Highland Omnibus and the driver was one Donnie Gunn, Holborn Avenue, Thurso - we went on this trip in the summer of 1950!! twas a great success. As you can see by the photo we all went over from Huna in a little boat and scrambled up on the other side - long before the pier.

In the boat picture you can see the white summer cap of Donnie the bus driver
