| I've recently being studying the Picts, and in particular their interaction with the Viking/Norse, I'm sure that you are aware that in Orkney's case the general lack of place names outwith scandanavian origin has given rise to the war or peace debate regarding Viking /Norse settlement of the islands. It's generally agreed that over 99% of all Orkney place names derive from the Norse, of course there is always that elusive 1%!! Also, what about the third type of 1st millenia inhabitants of the islands ..... the Pabbay/Priests .. currently there is a certain amount of historic/ archaeological interest in these settlers/inhabitants (also in Iceland) about which virtually nothing is presently known. Wideford, what's your view on the war or peace regarding Norse settlement?
