Stromness bonfire night success

A huge community effort has made this year’s Stromness Community Council bonfire and fireworks night one to remember, despite efforts to ruin the event.

The bonfire was a great success, after vandals made an attempt to destroy the fun, by lighting the bonfire a day early.

Organisers were inundated with offers of pallets, and helpers, to make sure that the annual event would go ahead.

The bonfire burned as bright as ever, for a huge turnout, who appreciated more than ever the fantastic display of fireworks, and the efforts of all involved.
