Wonderful map! I wonder what the history is - presumably, Reynland was colonised by Norse explorers, and Rockall was settled from England. I'd be interested to know the details of how this happened.
Also, is it OK if I post this to the imaginarymaps forum on reddit? I'll give you full credit, of course

Exacly: Reynland colonized from Iceland and Faroes, Rockall from Scotland (with some relics of older Pict settletments). Grarey would be contested during Middle Ages, and when Scots take control over Orkneys and Shetlands, they make Rockall part of Scotland. So later it wold be county, not dependency of UK.
About Reddit? No problem.

Considering Irish monks got to Iceland first I imagine they settled both these islands. Even the name St Brendan implies it.
