The Isle of Lewis in Scotland, Eilean Leòdhais, was for centuries under Norse rule. It is from the Vikings that its name came. There isn’t agreement as to what Leòdhas meant in Old Norse, but I like Watson’s “House of Song”. This film talks about some of the many things that the Vikings left behind them – place-names, words and stories. This short film (1m45s) is in English.
