Did you know the Viking were afraid of the Picts that lived in Scotland 
I did not know that. But I do know the Picts lived in eastern and northern Scotland, so I imagine they would run into each other.
Yes, I'm from Northern Scotland. The vikings seemed to be tough enough to defeat everyone else but the Scots. I think the vikings made it all the way to Africa and even North America.
Yeah the vikings were pretty tough and great at sailing the seas. At one point other countries viewed them as nothing more than brutal raiders
When in fact they were farmers looking for a new place to farm. 
Historians disagree on what they think drove them to seek expansion. One idea is they were rebelling against other Europeans who invaded them previously
Either way they failed. Not many vikings around any more. 
True, not even their language really stuck around. Not many people who speak old norse anymore
I was recently in Finland and went to see a band that sang songs in it. It was not the most beautiful langue I've heard.
Old Norse
Old Norse was a North Germanic language that was spoken by inhabitants of Scandinavia and their overseas settlements from about the 9th to the 13th centuries.
The Proto-Norse language developed into Old Norse by the 8th century, and Old Norse began to develop into the modern North Germanic languages in the mid- to late 14th century, ending the language phase known as Old Norse. These dates, however, are not absolute, since written Old Norse is found well into the 15th century.
Old Norse was divided
. The slightly later, expanded text known as ""Servius Danielis"" further distinguished them from the Picts of Scotland who he said colored their skin blue; but some later mediaeval traditions recounted by Bede and Holinshed dubiously purported to connect the Agathyrsi or Scythia directly with the Picts of Scotland.
Legacy.
The gloss preserved by Stephen of Byzantium explains that the Greeks called the Trausi the Agathyrsi and we know that the Trausi lived in the Rhodope Mountains.
In the 19th century, Niebuhr regards the Agathyrsi of Herodotus
