It is possible that Saint Brendan , an Irish monk (a Papar ) sailed past the islands during his North Atlantic voyage in the 6th century. He saw an 'Island of Sheep' and a 'Paradise of Birds', which some say could be the Faroes with its dense bird population and sheep. In the late 7th century to early 8th century the islands were visited by monks from Ireland , possibly looking for converts or solitude. Little is known about them, except that they used the Faroes (and Iceland ) as a hermitage . As these monks were celibate and lived in all-male communities, their populations were not self sustaining. The earliest text which is believed to include a description of the Faroe Islands, was written by an Irish monk in the Frankish Kingdom named Dicuil , who wrote about the countries in the north..

ADVERTISING INFORMATION Faroe - History The Faroe Islands were one of the last territories on the planet to be discovered and populated. The first settlers are said to have been Irish monks who arrived in the year 700 and something, there are no signs of people having lived here before that so the birds had it to themselves. Norsemen arrived in the early 800's. For the first 200 years or so Faroes was a free country but it then came under foreign power - first Norway and then Denmark. During the Second World War, when the Germans occupied Denmark, Faroes helped feed Britain by sailing there with fish; they sailed under the new Faroese flag, which the British officially recognised. There had been a strong movement for independence for many years and in 1946 a referendum was held and the majority chose independence. This caused concern in Denmark and the Danish government dissolved the Parliament. A new Parliament was elected in which there was not a majority for independence. In 1948 the Danish Parliament passed the Home Rule Act making Faroes a self-governing state inside the Danish Kingdom. The Act recognised the Faroese flag and the Faroese language. In recent times, the number of people wanting independence for their nation has increased considerably and in 1998 the Parliamentary elections resulted in a coalition taking power whose main promise was to set in motion a process towards full sovereignty. That process is now underway.

United Kingdom ABOUT FAROE ISLANDS Faroe Islands Country Briefs: A place caressed by nature and blessed with divinely beauty, Faroe Islands are unknown to none. The charisma of these wonderful islands is breathtaking. No wonder that the mesmerizing beauty of these islands enchants every visitor. Faroe Islands are basically a chain or cluster of islands that lie in the North Atlantic Ocean and in between Scotland, Norway and Iceland. The Faroe Islands are also referred to as �Sheep Islands� or simply Faroes. The Faroe Islands cover a small area of around thirteen hundred square kilometers on globe and the population here is not more than fifty thousand people. The capital city of the Faroe Islands is Torshavn, a territory of Denmark. This is because of the fact that the Faroe Islands have served as an autonomous region of kingdom of Denmark since 1948. Till date the defense and foreign affairs matters of Faroe Islands are not separate from the kingdom of Denmark. If we ponder over the past of the Faroe Islands we find that the first settlement began in this region around 9 th century. The foremost inhabitants were the emigrants who left Norway due to the terror of the founder and the first king of Norway, Harald Fairhair.
