Paul Murton has long had a love of the Viking north - the island
groups of Orkney and Shetland and the old counties of Caithness and
Sutherland - which, for centuries, were part of the Nordic world as
depicted in the great classic the Orkneyinga Saga. Today this
fascinating Scandanavian legacy can be found everywhere - in
physical remains, place-names, local traditions and folklore, and
much else besides. This is a personal account of Paul's travels in
the Viking north. Full of observation, history, anecdote and
encounters with those who live there, it also serves as a practical
guide to the many places of interest. From a sing-along with the
Shanty Yell Boys to fishing off Muckle Flugga, from sword dancing
with the men of Papa Stour to a Norwegian pub crawl in Lerwick,
Paul paints a vivid picture of these lands and their people, and
explores their extraordinary rich heritage.
