In the days Ron was referencing, the big-dog Scandinavian pillaging the Hebrides was Olav, second-generation Norse King of Man, who was not only Somerled's rival raider, but also his father-in-law, thanks to the machinations of Olav's stepbrother, Murdo MacNeill, progenitor of Clan MacIntyre.
But, dang it, I'm sidetracking again, aint I?
As I said before, Eric, those photos are a real delight, thanks for sharing them with us.
Keep spreadin' the word, and keep inspiring us all to keep on representin'!
