The first settlers probably arrived on South Ronaldsay, the nearest landfall from the Scottish Mainland, in skin boats laden with livestock and seed From there they spread to every island. The Vikings called the Flow'Skalpafloi'. Osmundwall at the southern tip was a Viking trading centre and harbour. In 1263, with Scotland challenging Norwegian rule, King Hakon brought his great Viking Fleet of some 120 large ships to anchor off St Margaret's Hope in a bid to maintain Norwegian influence.

Calder1, Bobby Forbes2, and Duncan Mallace3 Abstract Archaeologically, marine sites can be just as significant as those on land. Until recently, however, they were not protected in the UK to the same degree, leading to degradation of sites; the difficulty of investigating such sites still makes it problematic and expensive to properly describe, schedule and monitor them. Use of conventional high-resolution survey tools in an archaeological context is changing the economic structure of such investigations however, and it is now possible to remotely but routinely monitor the state of submerged cultural artifacts.
