Vikings
Recently, Viking treasures have been found in Glasgow these include a Viking sarcophagus and a tombstone which is very unlike the Vikings, as normally they were just buried in the ground with nothing to remember them. Also last battle between the Scots and the Vikings was very close to Glasgow in 1263, at the town of Largs.
The impact the Vikings had on Glasgow:
Words in the Scottish language have some impact from Old Norse including the word Kilt.
Also some Scottish culture is influenced by the Vikings for example Hogmanay (the biggest celebration in Scotland) where you burn a Viking longboat.
Though the Scottish had an influence on the Vikings as the horns that were supposedly on Viking helmets (there is no solid proof of horns on Viking helmets) are from highland cattle, a cow native to Scotland.
