Hmmm,

I'd thought the Scot Norse connections came from the Viking raids on the Isles and resulting intermarriages...?

Yepp, many a connection lies there. Later came political/military connections...

Some did, Ron. But that's not all. World War Two played a major role in it, as many nations occupied by the Nazis used the UK for exile, including Norway.

The famous galloglas warriors of the Western Isles that fought in Ireland had some Nordic blood for sure.
