| 520 | _a"Oppressions of the Sixteenth Century in the Islands of Orkney and Zetland" is a historical account likely written in the mid-19th century. The work presents a detailed examination of the oppressive conditions faced by the inhabitants of Orkney and Zetland during the 1500s, particularly focusing on the actions of Lord Robert Stewart and other officials. The author draws upon original documents to illustrate the systemic injustices and exploitation that characterized life in these islands, effectively shedding light on a rarely discussed aspect of Scottish history. The opening of the book introduces the context and significance of Orkney and Zetland within Scottish history, particularly following their cession from Norway to Scotland. It outlines the political and economic struggles endured by the Islanders due to various Scottish rulers and bishops who imposed heavy burdens, illustrating a history marked by exploitation and disregard for local customs and rights. The author emphasizes the struggles of the Odallers, the native landowners, against a backdrop of feudal domination and legal manipulation, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive exploration of the social upheaval and resistance against such oppression.
