This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 edition. Excerpt: ... in a paper in the 'Memoirs de la Societe des Antiquaires du Nord, ' 1850-60. IV. Testament of Sir David Sinclair of Sumburgh, 1506. Equally interesting indications of the more opulent life in the islands in early times are found in the testament of Sir David Sinclair of Sumburgh, signed at Tingwall 9th July 1506. Sir David was third son of Earl William St Clair, from whose other sons and daughters he obtained the Sumburgh and other properties in Shetland, by deed dated at Edinburgh, 3rd December 1498. He was high in esteem with the King of Denmark and Norway, and while occupying the position of Great Fowde of Shetland, held at the same time the appointment of Captain General of the fortress at Bergen in Norway. In the Will, a copy of which is preserved among the papers of the Sheriff Court of Orkney, and has been printed in the 'Miscellany' of the Bannatyne Club, we find that all Sir David's inherited property in Shetland, together with valuable personal property, was bequeathed to Lord Sinclair, while Lady Sinclair and other noble friends were suitably remembered, and the following Shetlanders--viz., Thorrald of Brucht, Richard Lesk, William Spens--and others received various small lands and other presents. To St George's altar, in the Danish cathedral of Roeskilde, he left the gold chain which he got from the King of Denmark; a cup was destined for St Magnus Church at Tingwall, but seems never to have reached that place, and his black velvet cloak was left in the proportions of two-thirds to the church at Tingwall, and the remaining one-third to the Cross Kirk of Dunrossness, a venerable fabric which existed for 300 years later, only to be swept away at the end of the eighteenth century by a barbarity ever to be reprobated and deplored...

Excerpt from The Celtic and Scandinavian Antiquities of Shetland The history and antiquities of Shetland have at all times possessed for me an absorbing interest; and this it has fortunately been in my power to gratify, during a long series of years, in a practical way, by the excavation of ancient structures now in ruins; by discoveries of remains of the prehistoric age and of inscribed and sculptured monuments of the Celts and Scandinavians who in succession have occupied the islands; as well as by glimpses, often unexpected and curious, of local life in the olden time, which have rewarded the exploration of many musty records. In the General Register House, in the Charter House of the City of Edinburgh, in the Advocates' Library, in the Sheriff Court depositories of Shetland, and in the charter-chests of old families of the county, many treasures in the line of my inquiries are stored. These treasures have all been readily and most courteously placed at my disposal whenever desired; and my best thanks are due to the public officials and private gentlemen who have been so willing in every way to aid me in my efforts. My regret is that limitations of my own time have compelled those researches to be so brief and so cursory.

The Northern Isles stand at a crossroads of North Atlantic Europe, subject to the competing influences of Scandinavia and Scotland. Sandy Fenton's detailed study of the material culture of Orkney and Shetland is combined with thorough linguistic analysis and is based on years of study and sifting of a mass of detail. Much of the material is new, based on extensive research by the author, on manuscript and other written sources and on knowledge freely imparted by many local inhabitants. It illuminates the complexity of numerous interlocking factors, draws a picture of a fascinating and varied existence and reveals the past not as a static tableau but a process of continuous change. This book recreates the physical environment in which the people lived, their crops and livestock, the harvest of the sea, their houses, the food they ate. These things dominated their lives and form the background which is the key to understanding the character of these fascinating islands. This major work has earned its place as a key contribution to European ethnology and won the Dag Stromback Award of the Royal Gustav Academy, Sweden.
