( Northern Isles)
The Northern Isles (Old Norse Norðreyjar) are a chain of islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland. The group includes Shetland, Fair Isle and Orkney. Sometimes Stroma is included,[citation needed] although it is technically part of Caithness, not Orkney. The Northern Isles are usually separated for political purposes,[dubious – discuss] but they come under the Orkney and Shetland constituency in Westminster. Due to their history, the islands have a Norse, rather than a Gaelic flavour, and have historic links with the Faroes and Iceland, Denmark and Norway.
