Line 1:
'''Udal law''' is a near-defunct Norse derived legal system, which was formerly found in the [[Shetland]] islands and [[Orkney]] islands. Scottish Courts have intermittently acknowledged the supremecy of Udal Law in property cases upto the present day. Major differences with Scots (and English) Law include shore ownership rights, important for pipelines and cables. Currently, [[Scots law]] generally holds sway in Shetland and Orkney, along with [[European law]]
