Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
The Orkney
Islands are politically a part of Britain, yet seem quite different in many
ways. Numerous place names have non-English sounds, reflecting the original
Viking settlement of the 9th century. Norse crafts and traditions are
obvious everywhere. These islands were ruled from Norway and Denmark until
1468, when a Norwegian king gave them to Scotland in lieu of a dowry for his
daughter's marriage to King James III. In addition to the Norse heritage
there are numerous remains of prehistoric monuments such as the Stenness
Standing Stones at Finstown. |
