 The
Orkney Book
Consisting of 67 islands, the Orkneys lie to the north of the
Scottish mainland. This work gives an overview of their history.
Starting with the prehistoric period, it goes on to discuss
the flowering of the Celtic Church in the sixth and seventh
centuries and the subsequent invasion by the vikings.
 Orkney
(Exploring Scotland's Heritage S.)
Orkney is a paradise for those interested in the past. The trail
can be followed from World War II back through windmills, beautiful
houses, formidable castles, Viking-age churches, iron-age brochs,
to the well-preserved houses and tombs of people who lived more
than 5,000 years ago.
