Orkney also has an abundance of marine and avian wildlife. The islands have been inhabited for at least 8,500 years, originally occupied by Mesolithic and Neolithic tribes and then by the Picts. Orkney was colonised and later annexed by the Kingdom of Norway in 875 and settled by the Norseman. In 1472 the parliament of Scotland absorbed the Earldom of Orkney into the Kingdom of Scotland following failure to pay a dowry promised to James III of Scotland by the family of his bride, Margaret of Denmark. The Norse connection with Orkney is strong with many links still in place, including the application of Udal Law.
