You see it in Appalachia. The old Highlander families MOVE AT NIGHT. That's 'cause it's none of your business and go away. Don't bother them.

The Scottish Highlands were once peopled by a people created out of an amalgam of Irish warriors and Norse Vikings.

They all moved here.

It's not often appreciated just how incredibly like the Scandinavians the Scots are.

One of the Old Norse sagas is called the Orkneyinga Saga and deals with the Norse family that ruled the Orkney Islands. The cathedral in Kirkwall, the main town in the Orkney Islands, is dedicated to St. Magnus, a Norse chieftain who was murdered by his cousin and afterwards considered a martyr. I think the Orkneyinga Saga is available in a Penguin translation.
