Thule, Picts and Vikings in Shetland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Part 2 of my Hyperborean Odyssey is in Shetland, Britain’s northern most islands and the alleged site of the legendary Thule described by the ancients. I visited the archaeological site of Jarlshof which has Bronze age round houses, Iron-Age wheel houses, a Pictish broch and the largest Norse settlement in the British Isles. Shetland was under Nordic rule up to 1472 so it still has some strong cultural ties to Scandinavia despite also having a rich Pictish history.
