G. M. Ross was telling me that when his friend (another classy classic like hisself) was vacationing in Orkney he cared to write a postcard to Ross with the only inscription overleaf, as per title.

"They were commonly believed to be of French origin but were,, more accurately, of Viking origin. The Vikings landed in the Orkneys and Northern Scotland about the year 870 AD, under their Chief, Stirgud the Stout.
