Orkney once had huge trees. It was once forested like the Norwegian islands off the coast of Norway.

Orkney, a group of islands in Scotland, has a unique history and natural environment. According to historical records and archaeological findings, Orkney once had pine trees. In fact, the islands were once covered in woodland, including birch, hazel, rowan, willow, oak, and pine.

The presence of pine trees in Orkney is supported by archaeological evidence, such as the discovery of pine fragments at Skara Brae and the Stones of Stenness. Additionally, written records from the 16th century mention the existence of forest-trees, including willow, ash, sycamore, and Scotch fir, at Binscarth, near Kirkwall and Stromness.

It is realistic they speak modern English for communication purposes, as History channel movie "Boudicca". In Iron Age they wouldn't have spoken modern Irish or with a modern Dublin Irish accent. Probably more like Gaulish, which few even today know for sure what that sounded.

What language and what accent did the Iron Age Celts of Ireland and Britain speak? Having the actors speak in a modern Dublin accent in the English language (or even modern Irish-Gaelic) would be like having them speak with a modern New York accent. As the Celts of the Iron Age didn't speak modern Irish or modern Irish accent to begin with.

The Viking's TV series on Netflix, Amazon, History channel, etc. have 99% Modern English language and often American accents. Why is that? Mainly because the purpose of language is communication, and an art house movie entirely in archaic Nordic or Archaic Gaelic (which virtually no modern Irish could understand anyway) with subtitles in English, would only delegate the movie series to foreign-film art house obscurity. Celtic Gaulish, which is now an arcane and obscure language nobody but a few French professors can even speak a few words of, would likely be what the Bronze and Iron Age Celts of Ireland-Britain spoke before Archaic Irish.
