About this book
The Testimony of Tradition discusses differing opinions about the places from which the people described as Finn-men came. The comparison says that Shetlandic folk-lore indicates Bergen, on Norway's south-western coast, while Brand regards Finland as their home. A quoted note describes boats made of fish skins and a shirt fastened to the boat to keep water from entering unless its wearer unties it.
A comparison of a ground-plan and a written account notes disagreement over whether a northern recess held a basin or was vacant. The discussion considers the plan misleading on that point if the written statement is correct.
