New History of Orkney

For much of its history, Orkney had its own language, culture and institutions. The prehistoric inhabitants created monuments which are unmatched anywhere in Europe, and the medieval period saw the magnificent earldom that expressed itself through the Orkneyinga Saga and the building of St Magnus Cathedral in Kirkwall.

Pentru o mare parte din istoria sa, Orkney a avut propria limba, cultura si institutii. Locuitorii preistorici au creat monumente care sunt inegalabile oriunde in Europa, iar perioada medievala a vazut regatul magnific care s-a exprimat prin Saga Orkneyinga si cladirea Catedralei Sf. Magnus din Kirkwall.
