I had always wanted to visit Orkney because my great-grandmother, Isabella Allan, was born on the tiny island of Stronsay in 1843. By any standards, these islands have an extraordinary human history, stretching from Neolithic times, some 5,000 years ago to the two great wars of the 20th century.

  • Place Names in Orkney from 16Th- and 17Th-Century Maps
    Place names in Orkney from 16th- and 17th-century maps Lachlan of Cromarty Ian McIntosh [email protected] For this project, I recorded the Orkney Island placenames found on maps published in the second half of the sixteenth century and the rst half of the seventeenth century. I compared those spellings to modern Ordinance Survey maps. Nearly all placenames in Orkney are of Scandinavian origin, and very few are of Gaelic origin. Norse migration from the North completely superseded the previous, Pictish inhabitants of the islands. Especially characteristic are suxes of Old Norse origin; -ay (meaning `island'), -holm (meaning `round topped or grassy islet') and -skerry (meaning `rocky islet'). The maps I have organized the period maps at my disposal into two categories: those based upon early sixteenth century data, and those based upon the survey of Timothy Pont in the 1580s and 1590s. Maps in the former category were published in the late 16th C and very early 17th C For simplicity sake, I refer to these maps as 16th-C Maps. Maps of the latter category were all published in the 17th C, after Pont's death. I refer to these maps as 17th-C Maps. 16th C maps In the 16th-C Maps category are the maps of Abraham Ortelius, Gerhard Mercator, and John Speed. These maps are based upon documentation completed in the early sixteenth century, which is now lost. In his article, A History of Orkney Maps, John Chesters theorizes that Ortelius' map, circa 1575, was based upon an early draft of Gerhard Mercator's.
