The first colonists were Gaelic hermits and monks who arrived in the 6th century.
Later from around 650 the Norse-Gaels came and brought Norse culture and language to the islands. Little is known about this period, thus giving room for speculation. A single source mentions early settlement, the Icelandic Færeyinga saga. It was written somewhere around 1200, and it explains events taking place about 300 years earlier. According to the saga, many Norsemen objected to the Norwegian king's unification politics and thus fled to other countries, including the newfound places in the west.
This is a list of famous or important Faroese people. In a small island-society of fewer than 50,000 inhabitants, each person can gain certain meaning for the entire nation. The people listed below, are among those who played or play a distinct role in Faroese culture, politics and history. Many of them are renowned outside the Faroes, especially in Denmark and other Nordic countries.

Faroese is one of the smallest languages in the World. Yet there are there few if any language which have more dialects compared to the number of people who speak the language.

Vagar Island, Gasadalu, Fareo Islands - 22 May, 2007
1. Wide of mountain
2. Wide of Gasadalu village
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) John Asteroy, Tourism Manager/ Islander:
"We are located in the village of Gasadalu. It was quite an isolated village of the Faroe islands until we at least got the helicopter. The reason is, there is about 100 metres from the plateaux were the village is located down to sea level. And very often if they built a little bridge bridges it would disappear in the winter because of the wind, storms and the waves. So the only access was actually up this mountain here. If you look there is a zig zag walking path all the way up to the area above here. It took the post man at least two hours maybe two and a half with a load of groceries on his back...

The first in a series of films with Lesley Riddoch exploring Scotland's inspiring northern European neighbours and what we can learn.
Despite being a remote cluster of islands with population of just 50 thousand people (1% of Scots pop.), the Faroe Islands certainly don't think small. The Faroes took on global giant Google to protect their language and identity and have also created the world's fastest mobile broadband (a reserved issue in Scotland). The key factor in these success stories has been the Faroes Parliament: without doubt, the world's most powerful devolved parliament. This wee nation relies heavily on fish which represents around 95% of exports but life in the Faroes is changing. A new generation, enthused by a proximity to political power, are shaping these traditionally conservative islands into progressive society that more and more want to live in. The Faroes is also finding itself at the centre of things as the Arctic presents new opportunities. The Faroese community connects in all kinds of ways - through tunnels that join the separate islands, by air to the rest of the world with its own national airline and is reconnecting with nature to create world-class food. There's a lot to reflect upon about the future of the Faroes and Scotland but the ultimate connection is clear: with power comes the confidence to build a better nation.

How 16 different dialects around The Faroe Islands sound when they speak english.
Faroese is one of the smallest languages in the World. Yet there are there few if any language which have more dialects compared to the number of people who speak the language.
On this video you can hear 16 "people" representing 16 dialects around The Faroe Islands trying to persuade you to visit their town or village. Localpatriotism is firm in The Faroe Islands. On the video you can see locations of the villages, towns and islands on the Map of The Faroe Islands and photos from the villages, towns and islands represented in the video.
The dialects are stressed extra much when the 16 "people" say the name of their local town, village or island.
Performed and soundrecorded by Heri Simonsen from Tórshavn.
The film is produced end edited by Árni Laksáfoss Simonsen from Argir.
This film is a tribute to the richness and treasure of dialects we have in The Faroe Islands. A treasure that hopefully will be preserved in the Future.

Vagar Island, Gasadalu, Fareo Islands - 22 May, 2007
1. Wide of mountain
2. Wide of Gasadalu village
3. SOUNDBITE: (English) John Asteroy, Tourism Manager/ Islander:
"We are located in the village of Gasadalu. It was quite an isolated village of the Faroe islands until we at least got the helicopter. The reason is, there is about 100 metres from the plateaux were the village is located down to sea level. And very often if they built a little bridge bridges it would disappear in the winter because of the wind, storms and the waves. So the only access was actually up this mountain here. If you look there is a zig zag walking path all the way up to the area above here. It took the post man at least two hours maybe two and a half with a load of groceries on his back to get to Sorvagur town and of course the same amount of time to get back from Sorvagur to this village of Gasadalu. So today the have an access through a tunnel, so they should be quiet relieved."
4. Wide of north side of the mountain
5. Wide of John pointing to the mountain path
6. Tunnel pull out to reveal mountain
7. SOUNDBITE: (Faroese) Davur, Villager:
"The tunnel is good for us villagers. Before they built the tunnel it was very difficult for us because the only way out of the village was to climb the mountain or by a rare helicopter."
8. Wide of local helicopter service
9. Close of helicopter
10. Various Arial shots of the Faroe Islands
11. Close of helicopter cockpit
Streymoy Island, Torshavn - 25 May, 2007
12. Wide of Torshavn Harbour
13. Mid shot of Emma Winther (89)
14. Wide of Emma putting on computer headphones
15. Close of Emma's hand on computer mouse
16. Close of Skype computer icon
17. Mid of Emma speaking to friends in Copenhagen on Skype
18. Close of Emma
19. SOUNDBITE: (Faroese) Emma Winther (89 years), Skype Computer User:
"I use it to keep contact with my friends and my family. I have children that live in Denmark. With this computer I can follow my childrens' and grand childrens' adventures and see life through their eyes when they send me photos."
20. Close of computer screen
21. SOUNDBITE: (Faroese) Emma Winther (89 years), Skype Computer User:
"At the beginning I was a bit sceptical and I did not really have the courage to start using a modern computer. I actually thought I was
going to be little apprehensive and I would become alienated from the outside world. But after I got started and started speaking on Skype to friends in Europe I saw the advantages and actually found out that it was not all that difficult to get into."
22. Emma pointing to her grand children in her computer
23. Set up of young Reginn W Dealgaard, Young Businessman of the Year
24. SOUNDBITE: (English) Reginn W Dealgaard, Young Businessman of the Year:
"Life has changed, the way the Faroese people are subscribing to international news papers and following market trends. They are also investing more in big international companies. Now we have the internet they follow the international news."
Streymoy Island, Kirkjubokambur - 25 May, 2007
25. Wide of island ferry
26. Set up of linguist, Johan Henrik W.Poulsen
27. SOUNDBITE: (English) Johan Henrik W.Poulsen, Faroese Linguist:
"It is important to find faroese words instead of taking the international or the English ones. There are various reasons for that. First the tradition which is rather long now for creating new words we call this purism in Faroese. Purism language means keeping the Faroese language as clean as possible."
28. Close of Johan Henrik reading
29. Close of new Faroese dictionary

The first in a series of films with Lesley Riddoch exploring Scotland's inspiring northern European neighbours and what we can learn.
Despite being a remote cluster of islands with population of just 50 thousand people (1% of Scots pop.), the Faroe Islands certainly don't think small. The Faroes took on global giant Google to protect their language and identity and have also created the world's fastest mobile broadband (a reserved issue in Scotland). The key factor in these success stories has been the Faroes Parliament: without doubt, the world's most powerful devolved parliament. This wee nation relies heavily on fish which represents around 95% of exports but life in the Faroes is changing. A new generation, enthused by a proximity to political power, are shaping these traditionally conservative islands into progressive society that more and more want to live in. The Faroes is also finding itself at the centre of things as the Arctic presents new opportunities. The Faroese community connects in all kinds of ways - through tunnels that join the separate islands, by air to the rest of the world with its own national airline and is reconnecting with nature to create world-class food. There's a lot to reflect upon about the future of the Faroes and Scotland but the ultimate connection is clear: with power comes the confidence to build a better nation.
Created by Lesley Riddoch and Phantom Power Films.
The first colonists were Gaelic hermits and monks who arrived in the 6th century.
Later from around 650 the Norse-Gaels came and brought Norse culture and language to the islands. Little is known about this period, thus giving room for speculation. A single source mentions early settlement, the Icelandic Færeyinga saga. It was written somewhere around 1200, and it explains events taking place about 300 years earlier. According to the saga, many Norsemen objected to the Norwegian king's unification politics and thus fled to other countries, including the newfound places in the west.
