Welcome to the Institute for Northern Studies visitor page. Orkney boasts a rich and diverse history, along with a unique culture that reflects the character of the islands. For many years, the stories of these islands remained largely untold, but over the past 15 years, the Institute for Northern Studies has been dedicated to uncovering these histories through world-renowned research and sharing this knowledge through courses and public seminars. This webpage contains a number of selected videos and blog posts telling the untold story of these islands. I hope you enjoy them.
