For example, if you had a underwater data center that sat in the middle of the atlantic ocean in between new york and london, you could do some serious trading with that capability.
You can note, for example, that there is no data centre half way between Chicago and New York, even though that area has cheap accessible real estate and billions of dollars have been spent on low latency communication links between the two.
Why spend several million dollars in leasing space when you can drop a datacenter capsule off the coast with free cooling? Who cares about the cost of hardware.
You’re going to pay even if it doesn’t have a street address.
Of course, Orkney was part of Norway before becoming part of Scotland in 1468.
My cousin, from Indiana, is currently serving as a minister on Stronsay. The scenic photos he's sharing are certainly encouraging me to contemplate a visit.

Edit: (Can't work out if was great great grandfather or not! - but certainly some ancestor!)
Edit2: I'd definitely recommend visiting Orkney - it regularly gets evaluated as one of the nicest bits of the UK to live, the scenery is fantastic and it has some of the most amazing historical artifacts in Europe.
