On a related Viking note ...
Shetland's famous Up Helly Aa fire festival - with women and girls in the torchlit procession for the first time - has witnessed the burning of a replica Viking galley light up the Lerwick sky.
Up Helly Aa - the biggest fire festival in Europe - is traditionally held on the last Tuesday in January.
The 142-year-old event sees people celebrate Shetland's Norse heritage.
