How did the Vikings influence culture during their settlement period in Scotland? I would like the essay to focus on the 8th to 11th centuries, but if there is something important up to the 15th century then that would be ok too. If youre able to focus on one region, such as Dl Riata or the Hebrides (based on availability of sources) then that is preferred, although some cultural practices may not be restricted to one region. Some consideration should be given to contemporary Scottish culture that shows Viking influence, though not a lot, and maybe towards the end of the essay. Ive included some sources that may be useful, but all sources need to be academic and journals need to be peer-reviewed. There needs to be 12 or more sources. The reference list and citations should be in Chicago author/date. Thank you so much! Possible Sources: BOOKS Caldwell, D. H. and M. A. Hall (eds.), The Lewis Chessmen: new perspectives (2014).
