Until 1472 the archipelago known now as Orkney was part of what country?

Question

From 1965 as part of a civil war, and systematically from 1975 until at least 1986, which country purposely eliminated most of its native population and their villages?

Answer 1

In 1468 Orkney was pledged by Christian I, in his capacity as King of Norway, as security against the payment of the dowry of his daughter Margaret, betrothed to James III of Scotland. However the money was never paid, and Orkney was absorbed by the Kingdom of Scotland in 1472
