description Late 17th century observers mentioned having seen people sailing in kayaks past the Orkney Islands. Local people called them Finns. The question as to who those people actually were and how they could possibly have reached northern Scotland has been raised more than once. The kayakers were believed to be either Sami, Eskimos or Sikhirtya – the legendary predecessors of the Nenets on the northern coast of Russia. The objective of this article is to analyze the sources available and describe possible approaches to elucidating the issue. В конце XVII в. наблюдатели отмечали появление людей на каяках близ Оркнейских островов. Местные жители называли их финнами. Вопрос, кем были эти загадочные путешественники и каким образом они смогли добраться до берегов Северной Шотландии, неоднократно поднимался в зарубежной историографии. Существует несколько вариантов ответа: саамы, эскимосы или же сихиртя – предшественники ненцев на северном побережье России. Задача настоящего исследования – проанализировать имеющиеся источники и обозначить основные подходы к решению данной проблемы.
