Law Ting Holm (Tingwall)

Archaeological_site in Scotland, dating from Ca. 900–1500-tallet

Law Ting Holm er en lille holm i Tingwall Loch på Shetland, hvor det norrøne Lawting (lovting) blev afholdt i vikingetiden og middelalderen. Stedet var Shetlands øverste retsmyndighed under norsk styre. Navnet Tingwall kommer af oldnordisk Þingvǫllr. En bro forbandt holmen med bredden, og her blev love vedtaget og tvister afgjort efter norrøn tradition.
