The Manx Sword of State, a ceremonial sword prominently used at the annual Tynwald Day sittings at St Johns, and whenever the Tynwald sits at the Legislative Chambers in Douglas, is popularly said to have belonged to Óláfr. The sword, which has a 29 in (74 cm) steel blade and 9 in (23 cm) inch hardwood hilt, is sometimes said to have been brought back from Spain, when Óláfr returned from his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. However, recent analysis of the sword has determined that it likely dates to the 15th century, and is not unlike other 15th century ceremonial swords in England. The blade itself may only date to the 16 or 17th centuries, and is thought to have been made in London.
Several Scottish clans that were historically seated on Lewis have traditionally been ascribed a descent from Óláfr. The MacLeods claim a descent from Leod (Old Norse Ljótr), who is popularly said to have been a son of Óláfr. Clan traditions dating to the late 18th century link Leod with Óláfr, and heraldic evidence dating to the late 17th century may be the earliest indication of such a claim. However, recent research into the MacLeod's traditional ancestry has determined such claims of descent from Óláfr are unsupportable. Other Lewis clans have been linked with Óláfr in various traditions, such as the Morrisons of Ness and their adversaries the Macaulays of Uig, although there is no supporting evidence that Óláfr left any descendants on the island.
