Iona and the Vikings: how raids on Iona introduced a new age

Abstract

• In this week’s episode of the podcast, Jackie discovers what brought the invaders from the north to Scotland, and what encouraged them to stay. Joined by Dr Adrián Maldonado, the Glenmorangie Research Fellow at National Museums Scotland and an expert in the Scottish Viking Age, Jackie looks at how the Vikings interacted with the Picts, how they knew which islands to attack, and what happened to the last of the Vikings.
