Paul Murton beschrijft in dit boek zijn reizen naar Orkney en Shetland met veel aandacht voor de cultuur, natuur en historie van deze eilandengroepen. Ook uitermate goed te gebruiken als reisgids door de hoeveelheid informatie die hij geeft.   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.
