""Ancient History Of Orkney, Caithness, And The North"" is a book written by Thormodus Torfaeus in 1866. The book provides a comprehensive account of the ancient history of Orkney, Caithness, and the surrounding areas in the North of Scotland. It covers a wide range of topics such as the geological formation of the region, the arrival of the first settlers, the Norse invasions and settlements, the establishment of Christianity, the reign of the Earls of Orkney, and the eventual annexation of the region by Scotland. Torfaeus draws on a variety of sources including Icelandic sagas, historical documents, and archaeological findings to construct a detailed narrative of the region's history. He also provides insights into the culture and customs of the people who lived in the area during different periods of history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Scotland, particularly the North of the country.
