Orcadian People
An ethic group of the people who live in the Orkney islands who have a common ancestry of the norse people. Due to large settlements of the norse in Orkney starting in the 9th century and ending in the 15th the people are considerably different to the mainland Scots as they had there own type of a norse language called norn right up to the 19th century. Even to day there distinctive Orcadian language that is spoken is a mix of lowland Scots and old Norn. The Orcadian people are also quite different as they have there own distinctive flag which shows the colours red, blue, yellow and has the pattern of the nordic cross to recognise there ancestry. When the people of the Orkneys are asked of there nationality they regard themselves as Orcadians first and Scots second.
