Scandinavian migration to the United Kingdom is a phenomenon that has been occurring for nearly 1,500 years. Today, tens of millions of people living in the United Kingdom have some Scandinavian ancestry.The 2001 UK Census recorded 22,525 people born in Sweden, 18,695 in Denmark, 13,798 in Norway, 11,322 in Finland and 1,552 in Iceland. Many British people have some Scandinavian ancestry, with particular concentrations found in the north of the country, including Shetland and Orkney.Scandinavian settlement in the UK began with the Viking invasions of the British Isles. These are thought to have begun with the sacking of the monastery at Lindisfarne off the Northumbrian coast as early as AD 793, followed by attacks on Jarrow (794) and the Columban church of Iona (976, 802, 806). Scandinavian Vikings soon dominated the sea routes and coastlines stretching from Norway to Shetland, Orkney, Scotland, the Hebrides and Ireland.
