"The Orkeny Islands are an archeological treasure:"

There are a couple DNA markers that are unique to the Shetlands. They also appear in Iceland and supports the theory that The Shetlands were the 'jump off point' for the Vikings on their way to Iceland.

BTW, for a location to accumulate it's own DNA markers, a lot of time must pass.
