Orkney and Shetland Folk 872-1350
Note.Unless where otherwise stated this paper is founded on Orkneyinga Saga (Rolls Series, text and translation). Page references are to Orkney and Shetland Records, Vol. I. Fb., Flateyjarbk.

I. It has already been suggested that the Norse must have settled in Orkney and Shetland, circa 664, among the aboriginal race, the Picts, who would have become their thralls, and with whom the settlers would have intermarried. The first Norsemen who came to Orkney and Shetland would have been adventurers, and not settlers with wives, families and thralls, such as later went to Iceland and Orkney. Consequently such adventurers who settled in the islands would naturally have intermarried with the aborigines. This kind of male settlement may have gone on for some time, before the actual bona fide colonisation took place. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
