Answer:

They are not considered the part of Scandinavia as they are located close to Great Britain or to be more precise on the half way between Iceland and Scandinavia. Although they are not part of Scandinavia they are culturally influenced by it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Faeroe Islands are not part of Scandinavia, but following countries are: Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark.

Faeroe Islands were settled by the Vikings and therefore they are sometimes considered as a part of Scandinavia, but this is not geographically, nor historically accurate.
