		As we make a point of getting to as many of Scotland’s far flung islands as possible (in fact for over 5 years more than any other Scottish Backpacker company), ferries are very much a part of our tours.
		This crossing is not one to spend indoors though, as it sails close to the islands of Stroma and South Ronaldsay and gives great views of both.
		Seals and a great number of sea birds can be seen from the decks and it sails through the 'Merry Men of Moy' a large area of turbulent water churned up where the North Sea meets the Atlantic.

		Local historian George Watson, who has lived in Caithness since 1960 confirmed to us on a visit in August 2000 that it was Lairds from Stroma or Duncansby who founded Laird Shipbuilders in Birkenhead and it is also thought, Burns Laird, the shipping company in Glasgow for which my Grandfather, James Laird was Company Secretary.
		However when we contacted subsequently Mrs Anne McGrail, named in the Canisbay Book as a source, and who is a descendant of the Laird Shipbuilders, she did not know of any Caithness connection, and believed that her branch of the family had originated in Ayrshire, and knew of no connection with Burns Laird.
