Thanks for these suggestions.

I’ll see if he has a copy of the Orkneyinga Saga.

I think the archaeology might be of most interest to dad. We’re both interested in it. So, it will give us something to talk about. I come at it out of an interest in Classical history which in turn was born out of studying Roman Law at uni and then the lucky break of working for an archaeological unit. I think dad is trying to make some connection between the land he walks on and the land as it was lived in thousands of years ago.

The local archaeological community in Orkney will be just be packing up after their summer dig on the Ness of Brodgar. When I was up there last year we went to see the dig during their open day
