Tingborð

Tingborð er eitt søguligt stað í Trøðum á Sandi, nær við Sandsvatn. 

Føroyar vóru býttar sundur í seks sýslur, sum hvør hevði sítt sýsluting, kallað várting. Í hvørjari sýslu vóru eftir Landslógini frá 1274 seks løgrættumenn, sum fútin tilnevndu, og teir skuldu á vártingi døma saman við løgmanni.

Vártingið í Sandoynni var hildið í Trøðum og her liggur enn hesin stóri, flati steinurin kallaður Tingborð. Hyggur mann væl eftir sær mann at merkir eru grivin í steinin, har tað stendur 1789 og RL. Hetta er allarhelst fyri Rasmus Lund, sum var sorinskrivari tá. 

//Tingborð is a historically significant site located in Traðir in the village of Sandur, close to Lake Sandsvatn. 

The Faroe Islands were divided into six areas called “sýslur”, each with its own assembly. Tingborð was the meeting place for the local assembly, known as “Várting” during mideval times. According to law from 1274, each area had six representatives appointed by the bailiff. “Várting” was a regional court where legal matters were discussed, and judgements were passed.

Engraved on Tingborð are the inscriptions “1789” and the initials “RL”, which are believed to represent Rasmus Lund, a judge who likely presided over the assembly at that time. The presence of this stone underscores Sandur's role as an important judicial and administrative center in the Faroe Islands' history.

Today, Tingborð remains a tangible link to the Faroe Islands' medieval past and is a point of interest for visitors exploring the historical landscape of Sandur.
