Vinland, published in 1992 by George Mackay Brown, is a historical novel set in the Orkney Islands in the early 11th century.

The novel's protagonist is Ranald Sigmundson, an Orkneyman who journeys to Vinland as a youth, fights in the battle of Clontarf, and has other adventures.

Continuing themes that had come to the fore in his An Orkney Tapestry (1969), Vinland displays plenty of "martial and devout Norse heroism".

[1] Written at a time when Brown's health was wavering, Vinland is a rare autobiographical insight into the author's thoughts about death.

What Vinland represents is echoed throughout Brown's work in his search for 'silence', that is, a sense for Christian peace, unity, meaning and order.
