Scandinavian Scotland
Scandinavian Scotland or Norwegian Scotland refers to the period from the 8th to the 15th centuries during which Vikings and Norse settlers, mainly Norwegians and to a smaller extent other Scandinavians, and their descendents colonised parts of what is now modern Scotland. Viking influence in the area commenced in the late 8th century, and hostility between the Scandinavian Earls of Orkney and the emerging thalassocracy of the Kingdom of the Isles, the rulers of Ireland, Dál Riata and Alba, and intervention by the crown of Norway were recurring themes.
Scandinavian-held territories included the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, the Hebrides, the islands of the Firth of Clyde, the Isle of Man and associated mainland territories including Caithness and Sutherland. The historical record is weak and the Irish annals and the later Norse sagas, of which the Orkneyinga Saga is the principal source of information, are sometimes contradictory although modern archaeology is beginning to provide a broader picture of life during this period.

Scotland
Scotland (/ˈskɒt.lənd/; Scots: [ˈskɔt.lənd]; Scottish Gaelic: Alba [ˈal̪ˠapə]) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It shares a border with England to the south, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south-west. In addition to the mainland, the country is made up of more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides.
Edinburgh, the country's capital and second-largest city, was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual, and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, was once one of the world's leading industrial cities and now lies at the centre of the Greater Glasgow conurbation. Scottish waters consist of a large sector of the North Atlantic and the North Sea, containing the largest oil reserves in the European Union. This has given Aberdeen, the third-largest city in Scotland, the title of Europe's oil capital.

Burnside Avenue
Burnside Avenue is a main thoroughfare connecting East Hartford, Connecticut's Main Street to Manchester, Connecticut. The road is part of U.S. Route 44. It runs through a low income portion of East Hartford and is home to a significant population of Hispanics and African Americans. East Hartford Middle school is located near the center of the avenue and is next to the main campus of Goodwin College. The eastern portion of Burnside Avenue has little housing, but is significantly developed with strip malls and restaurants. The Avenue is home to two important parks in East Hartford. Martin Park in the west has a swimming pool and a skating park along with access to many of East Hartford's bike trails. The east of the avenue has an entrance to Wickham Park, a large private park containing an aviary, bike trails, hiking trails, picnic grounds, and a view of Hartford's skyline.
Before the turn of the 20th century, Burnside was colloquially considered a separate village from the rest of East Hartford. Its rough terrain and proximity to the Hockanum river led to early artifice, so that even before the industrial revolution, it was dominated by paper mills. By 1900, Burnside was developing as a streetcar suburb. Its development prior to Pratt and Whitney (1929) explains its high density relative to the post-war housing so prevalent in the remainder of the town.

How DNA reveals Vikings never left Scotland – BBC REEL
Vikings conquered many of Scotland's islands, as well as the mainland, in the 8th and 9th Centuries. They came, they conquered, they left, or so the story seemed to go. Now historians are re-assessing the legacy the Vikings left on islands like Islay, a small island of about 3,000 inhabitants off the west cost of Scotland. Linguistic and DNA evidence now suggests that the Vikings never really left at all, as BBC Reel's Melissa Hogenboom reports.

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.

Have you ever wondered whether your blood truly runs with the blood of Vikings? After more than 900 years since the Viking Age, it's no wonder that we've forgotten who among us is descended from the Scandinavian warriors. Don't worry though; there are a few simple ways to confirm what you might have always suspected. Watch our new video now and find out if you have Viking blood running through your veins!
If you are descended from the Vikings, then your surname might offer clues about your Viking ancestry! Experts suggest that some personal surnames relate back to a time when people named their children in a way that described personal qualities that they possessed, and this means that surnames like 'Wise' or 'Good' would have been fairly popular among people who had these traits.
To determine whether you have Scandinavian DNA, examine your family background, and keep an eye out for people with familial ties to Scandinavia like Norway, Sweden, or Denmark. If this is not a possibility, there is an alternative route to determining if you have Scandinavian ancestry: examining your genetics via a test to determine your haplogroup.
Although we don't know what blood types the Vikings had, there are plausible hypotheses based on evidence and sound reasoning that reveals their blood group was likely A+. Blood group O+, on the other hand, is the predominant blood type in Iceland and other strongly inhabited Viking countries like Ireland.

Before the modern Scots, before the Angles and Saxons and Nordic populations of the Danelaw, before the Romans... Scotland was the land of the Picts. But where have these mysterious populations gone? In one of the first genetic analyses of Pictish Scotland, the authors of this PLOS Genetics article chart the results of eight bodies from Pictish graves from Ballintore and Lundin Links, Scotland.
This is an initial study, not nearly as comprehensive as those done in neighboring England and Ireland, but the data indicate the movements of ancient populations over the millennia, and the authors promise further studies to come. So for you lovers of Scotland, wonder no more about the fate of the Picts, for their history is written in their genes.

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.

Orkneyinga Saga
US/CAN: https://norse-combat-sportswear.myshopify.com/products/orkneyinga-saga
UK/EU: https://amzn.to/3ua7TIG
In the period from the 8th to the 15th centuries during which Vikings and Norse settlers, mainly Norwegians and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians, and their descendants colonised parts of what is now the periphery of modern Scotland. Viking influence in the area commenced in the late 8th century, and hostility between the Scandinavian earls of Orkney and the emerging thalassocracy of the Kingdom of the Isles, the rulers of Ireland, Dál Riata and Alba, and intervention by the crown of Norway were recurring themes.
Scandinavian-held territories included the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, the Hebrides, the islands of the Firth of Clyde and associated mainland territories including Caithness and Sutherland. The historical record from Scottish sources is weak, with the Irish annals and the later Norse sagas, of which the Orkneyinga saga is the principal source of information, sometimes contradictory although modern archaeology is beginning to provide a broader picture of life during this period.
Norse contacts with Scotland certainly predate the first written records in the 8th century, although their nature and frequency are unknown. Excavations at Norwick on the island of Unst in Shetland indicate that Scandinavian settlers had reached there, perhaps as early as the mid-7th century, consistent with dates produced for Viking levels at Old Scatness.
From 793 onwards repeated raids by Vikings on the British Isles are recorded. "All the islands of Britain" were devastated in 794[36] with Iona being sacked in 802 and 806. (These attacks on Christian settlements in the islands of the west were not new. In the 6th century Tiree was raided by Pictish forces, Tory Island was attacked in the early 7th century by a "marine fleet" and Donnán of Eigg and 52 companions were murdered by Picts on Eigg in 617.) Various named Viking leaders, who were probably based in Scotland, appear in the Irish annals: Soxulfr in 837, Turges in 845 and Hákon in 847. The king of Fortriu Eógan mac Óengusa and the king of Dál Riata Áed mac Boanta were among the dead in a major defeat to the Vikings in 839. Another early reference to the Norse presence in the Irish records is that there was a king of "Viking Scotland" whose heir, Thórir, brought an army to Ireland in 848. Caittil Find was a reported leader of the Gallgáedil fighting in Ireland in 857.
The Frankish Annales Bertiniani may record the conquest of the Inner Hebrides by Vikings in 847. Amlaíb Conung, who died in 874, is described as the "son of the king of Lochlainn" in the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland also suggesting an early date for an organised kingdom of Viking Scotland. In the same source Amlaíb is also recorded as having gone to the aid of his father Gofraidh who was under assault from Vikings in Lochlainn, circa 872. Gofraidh died in 873 and may have been succeeded by his son Ímar who also died that year. A lament for Áed mac Cináeda, a Pictish king who died in 878, suggests Kintyre may have been lost to his kingdom at that time. The Isle of Man may also have been taken by the Norse in 877 and was certainly held by them by 900.

Scottish DNA: What’s The Genetic (DNA) History of Scotland?
A 2019 study managed to group Scotland into 6 genetic clusters: the northeast, the southwest, the Borders, the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland. More broadly, Scotland is defined by a southwest versus northeast division near the River Forth, a division that reflects the historical territories of the Gaels versus the Picts. This 2019 study managed to group The Isle of Man with the southwestern Scottish individuals, and also found that the Hebrides is genetically distinct from the rest of mainland Scotland, a genetic island so to speak.
A 2012 study led by Edinburgh University found that 1% of all Scotsmen are direct descendants of the Berber and Tuareg tribesmen of the Sahara, a lineage which is around 5600 years old. This study also found that 15% of male participants in the study with the Stewart surname are directly descended from the royal line of kings.
A 2013 study also found an Irn Bru gene in the Scottish population which means we burn easy. Just joking, I’m just making sure you’re still paying attention.
In Orkney, there is a remarkable Viking genetic legacy. The population in Orkney is the most genetically distinct across Britain according to various studies. The People of British Isles study found that 25% of DNA from the people of Orkney comes from Norwegian ancestors, corresponding to the existence of a Norse Viking Earldom in Orkney from 875 to 1472.
This shows that the Norse Viking invasion (9th century) did not simply replace the indigenous Orkney population however, but intermarried with the indigenous Pictish population. More broadly, there was a notable Norwegian signal in all Scottish samples, the genetic footprint of the Vikings. Unsurprisingly, Shetland also has a large influence from the Vikings, with Norwegian ancestry of around 20 to 25%. Norwegian markers are higher in people whose ancestry is from the north of both of Orkney and Shetland. Norwegian ancestry is lower in the Hebrides (7%), and is substantially lower in the north of Scotland (N Scotland) and southwest (Argyll), and the Isle of Man, averaging 4%.
There are links with groups in Northern Ireland and western Scotland, which is hardly surprising given the history of the Gaels and the Gaelic Kingdom of Dalriada. The Ulster plantation may be another reason for this link. The data from the People of British Isles study also suggested a large movement of people from Northern France into England and Scotland between 6,000 and 3,000 years ago.

This paper presents early results of the ongoing research project The Norse and the Sea with particular emphasis on the fieldwork carried out on the Isle of Eigg in September 2022. The project investigates the maritime cultural landscape in Scandinavian Scotland (c. AD 790-1350), through an interdisciplinary approach using archaeological, written and toponymic evidence and address the overarching questions of connectivity and communication in Norse Scotland.
Professor Sanmark has been involved in many research projects, such as The Assembly Project, which le-d to the publication of her book Viking Law and Order. She has also studied the Christianisation of Scandinavia, as well as in Orkney. Dr McLeod studies aspects of Viking Age migration to and within Britain. Together they are working on the Norse and the Sea project funded by the Arts AHRC and the German Research Foundation.

Vikings conquered many of Scotland's islands, as well as the mainland, in the 8th and 9th Centuries. They came, they conquered, they left, or so the story seemed to go.
Now historians are re-assessing the legacy the Vikings left on islands like Islay, a small island of about 3,000 inhabitants off the west cost of Scotland.
Linguistic and DNA evidence now suggests that the Vikings never really left at all, as BBC Reel's Melissa Hogenboom reports.

Have you ever wondered whether your blood truly runs with the blood of Vikings? After more than 900 years since the Viking Age, it's no wonder that we've forgotten who among us is descended from the Scandinavian warriors. Don't worry though; there are a few simple ways to confirm what you might have always suspected. Watch our new video now and find out if you have Viking blood running through your veins!
If you are descended from the Vikings, then your surname might offer clues about your Viking ancestry! Experts suggest that some personal surnames relate back to a time when people named their children in a way that described personal qualities that they possessed, and this means that surnames like 'Wise' or 'Good' would have been fairly popular among people who had these traits.
To determine whether you have Scandinavian DNA, examine your family background, and keep an eye out for people with familial ties to Scandinavia like Norway, Sweden, or Denmark. If this is not a possibility, there is an alternative route to determining if you have Scandinavian ancestry: examining your genetics via a test to determine your haplogroup.
Although we don't know what blood types the Vikings had, there are plausible hypotheses based on evidence and sound reasoning that reveals their blood group was likely A+. Blood group O+, on the other hand, is the predominant blood type in Iceland and other strongly inhabited Viking countries like Ireland.

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.

Imputed genomes and haplotype-based analyses of the Picts of early medieval Scotland reveal fine-scale relatedness between Iron Age, early medieval and the modern people of the UK
Follow along at this open access link: https://journals.plos.org/plosgenetics/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgen.1010360#pgen.1010360.ref052
Before the modern Scots, before the Angles and Saxons and Nordic populations of the Danelaw, before the Romans... Scotland was the land of the Picts. But where have these mysterious populations gone? In one of the first genetic analyses of Pictish Scotland, the authors of this PLOS Genetics article chart the results of eight bodies from Pictish graves from Ballintore and Lundin Links, Scotland.
This is an initial study, not nearly as comprehensive as those done in neighboring England and Ireland, but the data indicate the movements of ancient populations over the millennia, and the authors promise further studies to come. So for you lovers of Scotland, wonder no more about the fate of the Picts, for their history is written in their genes.

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.

Orkneyinga Saga
US/CAN: https://norse-combat-sportswear.myshopify.com/products/orkneyinga-saga
UK/EU: https://amzn.to/3ua7TIG
In the period from the 8th to the 15th centuries during which Vikings and Norse settlers, mainly Norwegians and to a lesser extent other Scandinavians, and their descendants colonised parts of what is now the periphery of modern Scotland. Viking influence in the area commenced in the late 8th century, and hostility between the Scandinavian earls of Orkney and the emerging thalassocracy of the Kingdom of the Isles, the rulers of Ireland, Dál Riata and Alba, and intervention by the crown of Norway were recurring themes.
Scandinavian-held territories included the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland, the Hebrides, the islands of the Firth of Clyde and associated mainland territories including Caithness and Sutherland. The historical record from Scottish sources is weak, with the Irish annals and the later Norse sagas, of which the Orkneyinga saga is the principal source of information, sometimes contradictory although modern archaeology is beginning to provide a broader picture of life during this period.
Norse contacts with Scotland certainly predate the first written records in the 8th century, although their nature and frequency are unknown. Excavations at Norwick on the island of Unst in Shetland indicate that Scandinavian settlers had reached there, perhaps as early as the mid-7th century, consistent with dates produced for Viking levels at Old Scatness.
From 793 onwards repeated raids by Vikings on the British Isles are recorded. "All the islands of Britain" were devastated in 794[36] with Iona being sacked in 802 and 806. (These attacks on Christian settlements in the islands of the west were not new. In the 6th century Tiree was raided by Pictish forces, Tory Island was attacked in the early 7th century by a "marine fleet" and Donnán of Eigg and 52 companions were murdered by Picts on Eigg in 617.) Various named Viking leaders, who were probably based in Scotland, appear in the Irish annals: Soxulfr in 837, Turges in 845 and Hákon in 847. The king of Fortriu Eógan mac Óengusa and the king of Dál Riata Áed mac Boanta were among the dead in a major defeat to the Vikings in 839. Another early reference to the Norse presence in the Irish records is that there was a king of "Viking Scotland" whose heir, Thórir, brought an army to Ireland in 848. Caittil Find was a reported leader of the Gallgáedil fighting in Ireland in 857.
The Frankish Annales Bertiniani may record the conquest of the Inner Hebrides by Vikings in 847. Amlaíb Conung, who died in 874, is described as the "son of the king of Lochlainn" in the Fragmentary Annals of Ireland also suggesting an early date for an organised kingdom of Viking Scotland. In the same source Amlaíb is also recorded as having gone to the aid of his father Gofraidh who was under assault from Vikings in Lochlainn, circa 872. Gofraidh died in 873 and may have been succeeded by his son Ímar who also died that year. A lament for Áed mac Cináeda, a Pictish king who died in 878, suggests Kintyre may have been lost to his kingdom at that time. The Isle of Man may also have been taken by the Norse in 877 and was certainly held by them by 900.

Scottish DNA: What’s The Genetic (DNA) History of Scotland?
A 2019 study managed to group Scotland into 6 genetic clusters: the northeast, the southwest, the Borders, the Hebrides, Orkney, and Shetland. More broadly, Scotland is defined by a southwest versus northeast division near the River Forth, a division that reflects the historical territories of the Gaels versus the Picts. This 2019 study managed to group The Isle of Man with the southwestern Scottish individuals, and also found that the Hebrides is genetically distinct from the rest of mainland Scotland, a genetic island so to speak.
A 2012 study led by Edinburgh University found that 1% of all Scotsmen are direct descendants of the Berber and Tuareg tribesmen of the Sahara, a lineage which is around 5600 years old. This study also found that 15% of male participants in the study with the Stewart surname are directly descended from the royal line of kings.
A 2013 study also found an Irn Bru gene in the Scottish population which means we burn easy. Just joking, I’m just making sure you’re still paying attention.
In Orkney, there is a remarkable Viking genetic legacy. The population in Orkney is the most genetically distinct across Britain according to various studies. The People of British Isles study found that 25% of DNA from the people of Orkney comes from Norwegian ancestors, corresponding to the existence of a Norse Viking Earldom in Orkney from 875 to 1472.
This shows that the Norse Viking invasion (9th century) did not simply replace the indigenous Orkney population however, but intermarried with the indigenous Pictish population. More broadly, there was a notable Norwegian signal in all Scottish samples, the genetic footprint of the Vikings. Unsurprisingly, Shetland also has a large influence from the Vikings, with Norwegian ancestry of around 20 to 25%. Norwegian markers are higher in people whose ancestry is from the north of both of Orkney and Shetland. Norwegian ancestry is lower in the Hebrides (7%), and is substantially lower in the north of Scotland (N Scotland) and southwest (Argyll), and the Isle of Man, averaging 4%.
There are links with groups in Northern Ireland and western Scotland, which is hardly surprising given the history of the Gaels and the Gaelic Kingdom of Dalriada. The Ulster plantation may be another reason for this link. The data from the People of British Isles study also suggested a large movement of people from Northern France into England and Scotland between 6,000 and 3,000 years ago.

This paper presents early results of the ongoing research project The Norse and the Sea with particular emphasis on the fieldwork carried out on the Isle of Eigg in September 2022. The project investigates the maritime cultural landscape in Scandinavian Scotland (c. AD 790-1350), through an interdisciplinary approach using archaeological, written and toponymic evidence and address the overarching questions of connectivity and communication in Norse Scotland.
Professor Sanmark has been involved in many research projects, such as The Assembly Project, which le-d to the publication of her book Viking Law and Order. She has also studied the Christianisation of Scandinavia, as well as in Orkney. Dr McLeod studies aspects of Viking Age migration to and within Britain. Together they are working on the Norse and the Sea project funded by the Arts AHRC and the German Research Foundation.

Scandinavian Scotland
Scandinavian Scotland or Norwegian Scotland refers to the period from the 8th to the 15th centuries during which Vikings and Norse settlers, mainly Norwegians and to a smaller extent other Scandinavians, and their descendents colonised parts of what is now modern Scotland.
