Even the final night of the Mod did not deter 51 people from coming to Howie Firth’s talk on ‘The Viking Myth’, which showed a variety of disciplines from history and folklore to geography and linguistics can come together to provide a new picture of the Vikings to fit the flood of new data from DNA studies.  The talk, hosted by Caithness Horizons, was dedicated to a great Caithness scholar, the late Donald Omand.
