The Skansin fort was built in 1580. The lighthouse was added in 1888, and the gun is British and dates to the second world war.
Why a fort in the Faroe Islands in 1580? Pirates! Today is “Talk Like A Pirate Day”.

Tjørnuvík graveyard
Tjørnuvík, Faroe Islands
Unbeknownst to me at the time I was taking this photo of a lovely cemetery in the surfing town (population 54) of Tjørnuvík, there is also a Viking cemetery (discovered in 1956 and dating to about 950) in town. I had no internet in the Faroe Islands so it’s a shame that I couldn’t look things up as I journeyed from town to town. Had I known in advance that I wouldn’t have internet, I would have done more research before reaching the place.
