From the 8th to the 15th centuries, Vikings and Norse settlers and their descendants colonised parts of what is now modern Scotland. Some Old Norse poetry survives relating to this period. The Orkneyinga saga (also called the History of the Earls of Orkney) is a historical narrative of the history of the Orkney Islands, from their capture by the Norwegian king in the ninth century onwards until about 1200.WEB,orkneyjar.com/history/, Orkneyjar â The History and Archaeology of the Orkney Islands, 20th-century poet George Mackay Brown was influenced by the saga, notably for his 1973 novel Magnus. The Icelandic Njáls saga includes actions taking place in Orkney and Wales. Besides these Icelandic sagas a few examples, sometimes fragmentary, of Norse poetry composed in Scotland survive.BOOK, Crawford, Robert, Scotland’s Books, 2007, Penguin, London, 978-0140299403, Among the runic inscriptions at Maeshowe is a text identified as irregular verse.BOOK, Clancy, Thomas Owen, The Triumph Tree, 1998, Canongate Books, Edinburgh, 0862417872, Scandinavian cultural contacts in the Danelaw also left legacies in literature.
