"Sutherland and Caithness in Saga-Time; or, The Jarls and The Freskyns" by James Gray is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the history and influence of Norse rule in the Scottish Highlands, particularly in the counties of Sutherland and Caithness. Gray seeks to weave together narratives from the Sagas with scant local records to explore the complexities of the region's past and the notable figures involved, including the Norse jarls and the Freskyn family. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the connections between Norse heritage and Scottish history. Gray introduces the historical context before the arrival of Vikings, detailing the Roman influence and the indigenous Pictish tribes. He outlines the scant records available for the region and proposes to augment this history through the Sagas, indicating a specific focus on significant events and figures throughout the Norse occupation from 870 to 1266. This prelude prepares readers for a detailed exploration of both the geography and the historical dynamics that shaped Sutherland and Caithness during this tumultuous period.
