i saw a documentary a year ago about the Vikings in Scotland and England and they came to the conclusion that one of the things that point out the presence of Vikings in Scotland and Vikings, i.e. they mixed with the population (whereas they used to think of the Vikings as plunderers who came and left immediately after), are those placenames with the suffix -by . I'm not sure, but i believe those places are all situated quite northern (above Leeds and such).
