But no matter what, this video should be able to provide you with some new information about the history of some of the most beautiful and intriguing Islands in all of Europe. From Irish monks to Norwegian Vikings, woolen goods exporter to fishing and aquaculture powerhouse, long-time royal subject to potential breakaway nation, the Faroe Islands have a very interesting story to tell — one of Vikings, sheep and independence.
