The Earl of Orkney was originally a Norsejarl ruling Orkney, Shetland and parts of Caithness and Sutherland. The Earls were periodically subject to the kings of Norway for the Northern Isles, and later also to the kings of Alba for those parts of their territory in mainland Scotland (i.e. Caithness and Sutherland). The Earl's status as a Norwegian vassal was formalised in 1195. In 1232, a Scottish dynasty descended from the Mormaers of Angus replaced the previous family descended from the Mormaers of Atholl, although it remained formally subject to Norway. This family was in turn replaced by the descendants of the Mormaers of Strathearn and later still by the Sinclair family, during whose time Orkney passed to Scots control.
Norse Earls
Rognvald Eysteinsson, Earl of Mørefl. 865–890 is sometimes credited with being the founder of the earldom. By implication the Orkneyinga saga identifies him as such for he is given "dominion" over Orkney and Shetland by King Harald Finehair, although there is no concrete suggestion he ever held the title. The Heimskringla states that his brother Sigurd was the first to formally hold the title.
They are notable for living almost entirely on seaweed for several months of the year, except for a short lambing season – this is the only forage available to them, as they are confined to the shoreline by a 6 feet (1.8m) tall dry-stone wall which encloses the whole island. The semi feral flock on North Ronaldsay is confined to the foreshore for most of the year to conserve the limited grazing inland. This breed is raised primarily for wool.
Wool from the sheep is spun in Lanarkshire on the Scottish mainland and returned to Orkney for sale. However a small woollen mill now has a processing operation on North Ronaldsay. This mill processes the majority of Island-produced fleeces and supplies fibre for felters and spinners, as well as spinning yarn for knitters, many of whom live in Orkney producing fine clothing and other woollen goods for sale throughout Orkney.

Why the Orkney Islands weigh leaving Britain to join Norway | DW News
With Brexit, the United Kingdom left the European Union. Now the Orkney Islands, one of its most remote parts is mulling break-up plans of its own.
The group of windswept islands off the coast of Scotland says it could leave the UK. The local government on the Orkney Islands says it's just not getting enough funding, and that the oil and gas-rich neighbor of Norway might be a better fit. Even if there is a consensus for reform, any change would take years.

The Norn Language of Orkney and Shetland
In the middle of the 9th century Vikings from Western Norway settled the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, bringing their Old Norse language with them. While the other Norse settlers in the British Isles started speaking the language of the peoples around them, in the Isles the Old Norse language lingered and developed into Norn, surviving into the 19th Century.

Jarls of Orkney Part 1
The Jarls of Orkney were a Norse dynasty that ruled the islands from the 9th to the 15th centuries, blending Norse culture with local Scottish influences. Founded by Norse settlers, the Orkney jarls played a pivotal role in both Norse and Scottish politics, often aligning with either Norway or Scotland depending on geopolitical circumstances. Famous figures like Sigurd the Mighty and Thorfinn the Mighty expanded their influence across the Northern Isles and beyond, participating in Viking raids and later integrating into Scotland's feudal system. The Orkney jarls' legacy includes their contributions to the Norse sagas and their enduring impact on Orkney's culture and history, making them integral to understanding the region's medieval past.

With Brexit, the United Kingdom left the European Union. Now the Orkney Islands, one of its most remote parts is mulling break-up plans of its own.
The group of windswept islands off the coast of Scotland says it could leave the UK. The local government on the Orkney Islands says it's just not getting enough funding, and that the oil and gas-rich neighbor of Norway might be a better fit. Even if there is a consensus for reform, any change would take years.

In the middle of the 9th century Vikings from Western Norway settled the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, bringing their Old Norse language with them. While the other Norse settlers in the British Isles started speaking the language of the peoples around them, in the Isles the Old Norse language lingered and developed into Norn, surviving into the 19th Century.

The Jarls of Orkney were a Norse dynasty that ruled the islands from the 9th to the 15th centuries, blending Norse culture with local Scottish influences. Founded by Norse settlers, the Orkney jarls played a pivotal role in both Norse and Scottish politics, often aligning with either Norway or Scotland depending on geopolitical circumstances. Famous figures like Sigurd the Mighty and Thorfinn the Mighty expanded their influence across the Northern Isles and beyond, participating in Viking raids and later integrating into Scotland's feudal system. The Orkney jarls' legacy includes their contributions to the Norse sagas and their enduring impact on Orkney's culture and history, making them integral to understanding the region's medieval past.

The Earl's Palace is a ruined Renaissance-style palace near St Magnus's Cathedral in the centre of Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. Built by Patrick, Earl of Orkney, its construction began in 1607 and was largely undertaken via forced labour. Today, the ruins are open to the public.

The palace was built after Patrick, Earl of Orkney, decided that the accommodation provided by the Bishop's Palace was inadequate for his needs. Earl Patrick is widely acknowledged to have been one of the most tyrannical noblemen in Scotland's history. He decided to extend the complex by building a new palace on the adjoining land. This was complicated by the fact he did not actually own this property. He quickly acquired it by fabricating charges of theft against the unfortunate owner, trying him and having him executed. Upon his imprisonment at Edinburgh in 1609, his bastard son Robert began a rebellion on his behalf and seized the palace, along with nearby St Magnus's Cathedral and Kirkwall Castle. An army led by the Earl of Caithness laid siege, and the Castle was destroyed. Earl Patrick and his son were later executed for treason.
After the Earl's death, the palace continued to be the residence of the Bishops of Orkney sporadically until 1688, when it became the property of the Crown, and fell into ruin in the 18th century.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

Orkney set to say goodbye to the Ness of Brodgar
After 20 years, excavation work at Orkney’s Ness of Brodgar will come to a close at the end of this week (16th August).
Over the last two decades, this sprawling dig in the heart of Orkney’s World Heritage Site has become one of the most important archaeological projects in the world. It has revealed a huge complex of Neolithic buildings covering three hectares, with more lying undisturbed across this ancient landscape.
Finds have included beautiful decorated and painted stones, polished axe heads, carved stone balls, and even human and animal bones. But more than that, the excavation has changed the way we think about Neolithic Orkney.
Before the 2024 dig began, it was decided that this summer season would be the last on site, with work reaching a logical stopping point. Instead of c...

After 20 years, excavation work at Orkney’s Ness of Brodgar will come to a close at the end of this week (16th August).
Over the last two decades, this sprawling dig in the heart of Orkney’s World Heritage Site has become one of the most important archaeological projects in the world. It has revealed a huge complex of Neolithic buildings covering three hectares, with more lying undisturbed across this ancient landscape.
Finds have included beautiful decorated and painted stones, polished axe heads, carved stone balls, and even human and animal bones. But more than that, the excavation has changed the way we think about Neolithic Orkney.
Before the 2024 dig began, it was decided that this summer season would be the last on site, with work reaching a logical stopping point. Instead of covering it with plastic wrap and tyres, ready for next year, the Ness of Brodgar will also be filled in with earth and returned to the green field it used to be, in hibernation once more. This will protect the fragile stonework here, which isn’t as durable as the beach stone used to build Skara Brae, giving the next generation of archaeologists the chance to dig down into the secrets of the Ness in the future.
The focus will move on to analysis and research of the finds taken from the site over the years, to help build on that understanding of ancient Orkney and its role in prehistory across northern Europe.
It will be strange to start next summer knowing that the Ness of Brodgar won’t be at the heart of things, for locals, visitors, and archaeologists. But this incredible site won’t be forgotten.

This video is split into two parts, a visual journey around Orkney, followed by our Orkney travel tips and a chat about our trip
➤ JUMP AHEAD TO OUR ORKNEY TRAVEL INFO 17:41
Welcome to the Orkney Isles! This archipelago sits off the northeast tip of Scotland and can be reached by flight or ferry. About 70 islands make up Orkney, but only 20 are inhabited. During our week in Orkney we visited Mainland, Hoy, and Sanday. Each has a unique character, and we loved seeing how the landscape and island vibe changed across the isles.
Mainland is home to the islands' capital, Kirkwall, and is the largest and most populated of the isles. It's also where most people's journey to Orkney starts, and has plenty to keep you busy for a few days. We spent our time here visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Standing Stones of Stenness (all dating from around 5000 years ago!), enjoying coastal walks, and learning about Orkney's fascinating wartime history.
On Hoy we spent a couple of nights at the open bothy at stunning Rackwick Bay, hiking to the Old Man of Hoy (one of Scotland's most famous sea stacks and a magnet for climbers), and generally soaking up the atmosphere on this Highlands-esque island.
Our final 2 days were spent on Sanday, the largest of the North Isles and home to Orkney's most spectacular beaches. Tresness Beach was our favourite, a stunning expanse of white sand backed by towering dunes. We explored the 5000 year old Quoyness Chambered Cairn, slipped and slided our way across seaweed at low tide towards Start Point Lighthouse, and spotted the remnants of the B98 German Destroyer, washed up on Sanday over 100 years ago.
We've covered a lot of the places featured in this video in our accompanying Orkney travel guides (see above). These include detailed maps, the best places to visit, plus transport and accommodation info to help you plan your own Orkney trip.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.

I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.
In Summer 2018 I took a trip to one of the northern most regions of the British Isles. This is what happened.

With Brexit, the United Kingdom left the European Union. Now the Orkney Islands, one of its most remote parts is mulling break-up plans of its own.
The group of windswept islands off the coast of Scotland says it could leave the UK. The local government on the Orkney Islands says it's just not getting enough funding, and that the oil and gas-rich neighbor of Norway might be a better fit. Even if there is a consensus for reform, any change would take years.

In the middle of the 9th century Vikings from Western Norway settled the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, bringing their Old Norse language with them. While the other Norse settlers in the British Isles started speaking the language of the peoples around them, in the Isles the Old Norse language lingered and developed into Norn, surviving into the 19th Century.

The Jarls of Orkney were a Norse dynasty that ruled the islands from the 9th to the 15th centuries, blending Norse culture with local Scottish influences. Founded by Norse settlers, the Orkney jarls played a pivotal role in both Norse and Scottish politics, often aligning with either Norway or Scotland depending on geopolitical circumstances. Famous figures like Sigurd the Mighty and Thorfinn the Mighty expanded their influence across the Northern Isles and beyond, participating in Viking raids and later integrating into Scotland's feudal system. The Orkney jarls' legacy includes their contributions to the Norse sagas and their enduring impact on Orkney's culture and history, making them integral to understanding the region's medieval past.
The Earl's Palace is a ruined Renaissance-style palace near St Magnus's Cathedral in the centre of Kirkwall, Orkney, Scotland. Built by Patrick, Earl of Orkney, its construction began in 1607 and was largely undertaken via forced labour. Today, the ruins are open to the public.

The palace was built after Patrick, Earl of Orkney, decided that the accommodation provided by the Bishop's Palace was inadequate for his needs. Earl Patrick is widely acknowledged to have been one of the most tyrannical noblemen in Scotland's history. He decided to extend the complex by building a new palace on the adjoining land. This was complicated by the fact he did not actually own this property. He quickly acquired it by fabricating charges of theft against the unfortunate owner, trying him and having him executed. Upon his imprisonment at Edinburgh in 1609, his bastard son Robert began a rebellion on his behalf and seized the palace, along with nearby St Magnus's Cathedral and Kirkwall Castle. An army led by the Earl of Caithness laid siege, and the Castle was destroyed. Earl Patrick and his son were later executed for treason.
After the Earl's death, the palace continued to be the residence of the Bishops of Orkney sporadically until 1688, when it became the property of the Crown, and fell into ruin in the 18th century.

The Earl of Orkney was originally a Norsejarl ruling Orkney, Shetland and parts of Caithness and Sutherland. The Earls were periodically subject to the kings of Norway for the Northern Isles, and later also to the kings of Alba for those parts of their territory in mainland Scotland (i.e. Caithness and Sutherland). The Earl's status as a Norwegian vassal was formalised in 1195. In 1232, a Scottish dynasty descended from the Mormaers of Angus replaced the previous family descended from the Mormaers of Atholl, although it remained formally subject to Norway. This family was in turn replaced by the descendants of the Mormaers of Strathearn and later still by the Sinclair family, during whose time Orkney passed to Scots control.
Norse Earls
Rognvald Eysteinsson, Earl of Mørefl. 865–890 is sometimes credited with being the founder of the earldom. By implication the Orkneyinga saga identifies him as such for he is given "dominion" over Orkney and Shetland by King Harald Finehair, although there is no concrete suggestion he ever held the title. The Heimskringla states that his brother Sigurd was the first to formally hold the title.

After 20 years, excavation work at Orkney’s Ness of Brodgar will come to a close at the end of this week (16th August).
Over the last two decades, this sprawling dig in the heart of Orkney’s World Heritage Site has become one of the most important archaeological projects in the world. It has revealed a huge complex of Neolithic buildings covering three hectares, with more lying undisturbed across this ancient landscape.
Finds have included beautiful decorated and painted stones, polished axe heads, carved stone balls, and even human and animal bones. But more than that, the excavation has changed the way we think about Neolithic Orkney.
Before the 2024 dig began, it was decided that this summer season would be the last on site, with work reaching a logical stopping point. Instead of covering it with plastic wrap and tyres, ready for next year, the Ness of Brodgar will also be filled in with earth and returned to the green field it used to be, in hibernation once more. This will protect the fragile stonework here, which isn’t as durable as the beach stone used to build Skara Brae, giving the next generation of archaeologists the chance to dig down into the secrets of the Ness in the future.
The focus will move on to analysis and research of the finds taken from the site over the years, to help build on that understanding of ancient Orkney and its role in prehistory across northern Europe.
It will be strange to start next summer knowing that the Ness of Brodgar won’t be at the heart of things, for locals, visitors, and archaeologists. But this incredible site won’t be forgotten.

This video is split into two parts, a visual journey around Orkney, followed by our Orkney travel tips and a chat about our trip
➤ JUMP AHEAD TO OUR ORKNEY TRAVEL INFO 17:41
Welcome to the Orkney Isles! This archipelago sits off the northeast tip of Scotland and can be reached by flight or ferry. About 70 islands make up Orkney, but only 20 are inhabited. During our week in Orkney we visited Mainland, Hoy, and Sanday. Each has a unique character, and we loved seeing how the landscape and island vibe changed across the isles.
Mainland is home to the islands' capital, Kirkwall, and is the largest and most populated of the isles. It's also where most people's journey to Orkney starts, and has plenty to keep you busy for a few days. We spent our time here visiting the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Skara Brae, the Ring of Brodgar, and the Standing Stones of Stenness (all dating from around 5000 years ago!), enjoying coastal walks, and learning about Orkney's fascinating wartime history.
On Hoy we spent a couple of nights at the open bothy at stunning Rackwick Bay, hiking to the Old Man of Hoy (one of Scotland's most famous sea stacks and a magnet for climbers), and generally soaking up the atmosphere on this Highlands-esque island.
Our final 2 days were spent on Sanday, the largest of the North Isles and home to Orkney's most spectacular beaches. Tresness Beach was our favourite, a stunning expanse of white sand backed by towering dunes. We explored the 5000 year old Quoyness Chambered Cairn, slipped and slided our way across seaweed at low tide towards Start Point Lighthouse, and spotted the remnants of the B98 German Destroyer, washed up on Sanday over 100 years ago.
We've covered a lot of the places featured in this video in our accompanying Orkney travel guides (see above). These include detailed maps, the best places to visit, plus transport and accommodation info to help you plan your own Orkney trip.

We're back this week, and we're exploring the beautiful Orkney Islands. There's something for everyone here - dramatic landscapes, stunning wildlife, wonderful food and drink and lovely people. We were lucky enough to spend nearly three weeks on Orkney this Spring, and these are some of the places we'd recommend you go if you're on the islands.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As a Scottish history tour guide people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation if your from the US. So I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.
