Humm,,I had always thought it was mostly the Swedish tribes that went east inland towards Russia. Nothing to say that Norse from Orkney couldn't have,,I had just never thought of it before. Always thought of the Norse as going west and south out of Norway towards Iceland/Greenland and Shetland, Orkney, and Scotland Anybody got any evidence on the matter?
