Captain Sinclair..

Driving back to Oslo today through the Gudbrandsdal valley, we stopped in the town Lillehammer and visited their museum of art. Blipped the painting of Sinclair`s landing in Romsdalen. The Scottish Captain George Sinclair (1580 - 1612) were taken to Norway by the pirate Robert Stewart to fight Scotland`s enemies the Danes. Unfortunately for my Scottish blip friends, Sinclair was ambushed by Norwegian militia along with 300 of his men while marching through Norway. Captured Scottish weapons are put on display at the Gudbrandsdal Museum, Kvam to commemorate the battle, according to Wikipedia.
