Bit late. Stromness is already a banking free, cash free zone. A perma-broken cash machine and a post office is all we have. At least the only supermarket does still do cashback, but they are pretty pissed about doing it, cos it cleans them out. Still no sign of the supposed new cash machine... believe it when we see it?
And that's town. (There's a lot of rural places around here.) Good luck with 3 miles - try 15...
