The medieval earldoms of Orkney and Caithness were positioned between two worlds, the Norwegian and the Scottish. This is a story of the time when the Northern Isles of Scotland were part of a different national entity, explaining the non-Gaelic culture of this locality, when links across the North Sea were as important as links with Scotland.
