Migration into Scotland And Britain Dates Back Over 10,000 Years However the scale of the different eras of migration varied significantly. Before the Roman era thee had been a trade route from the historic Nine Counties Of Ulster to Scandinavia and Northern Germany with the principle commodity being butter. Ireland has a longer grazing season for cattle due to the Gulf Stream moderating the winter temperature. Butter had been a very valuable commodity. Even after the Viking era of raids and settlement stopped after the Battle of Fulford Bridge inn 1066 Germanic migration continued although on a much smaller scale to the east coast of Scotland and the West Coast of Scotland and the Western Scottish Islands. The Kingdom of The Isles on the West Coast of Scotland remained semi autonomous for hundreds of years after 1066. Any documentary on the Scottish Clans must include the ongoing Germanic migration and trade with Scotland after 1066. The links with Iceland during the Viking era and after the Viking era must also be discussed. Iceland had been uninhabited until the Viking era. The Vikings developed new and improved ship building technology being the Clinker design of building ships and Tar Pits to massively increase the volume of tar produced that is required between the planks of wood to ensure the ships are watertight. This improved ship building technology enabled the Vikings to sail in the rougher seas o f the North Atlantic and colonise both Iceland and Greenland. What is the clinker ship built technique? Clinker (boat building) - Wikipedia Clinker-built, also known as lapstrake-built, is a method of boat building in which the edges of longitudinal (lengthwise-running) hull planks overlap each other.
