The Viking isles : travels in Orkney and Shetland / Paul Murton. by Murton, Paul. Birlinn, 2019. Call #: 914.113 M984v Subjects Murton, Paul -- Travel -- Scotland -- Orkney.   Murton, Paul -- Travel -- Scotland -- Shetland.   Civilization, Viking -- Scotland.   Orkney (Scotland) -- Description and travel.   Shetland (Scotland) -- Description and travel. ISBN:  9781780275802 (pbk.) Description:  232 p. : ill., maps ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  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.
