Hello there,
The northern countries are very expensive to travel in. A loaf of toast is approx. 4 pounds in Iceland. Even if you do not spend a lot of time there all the flying around will cost you quite a lot of money.
I don't think that 3000 pounds are going to cut it if you stick to your current plan. especially if you want to continue on to France, Italy and Albania. You'd have to do some serious calculations.
I would would probably fly over to Norway directly from London. I would not bother spending 200+ pounds on a ticket to Iceland only to be there for 4 days max. Same for the detour to the Faroer and Scotland. It is significantly more expensive to fly from Scotland to Norway than from London, so I would save Scotland for later.
I would be looking to travel from the north to the south of Denmark, but I don't drive, so this might be a daft question, but is it possible to walk it!?!?
Well, alternatively there are trains and buses. You could also walk large parts of the distance if you want, I am sure there is a way.
I would like to have a day trip out to Helligoland if possible,
Helgoland is part of Germany now. You'd be best off visiting this place as a daytrip from Hamburg. There are daily ferries.
From Denmark I'd be hoping to visit Holland,
Take a look at the Frisian Islands, there are almost enroute.

is this whole euro tour realistically possible on those funds
Set yourself a timeframe of travel. How long do you plan to be on the road? Depending upon your style of travel you are looking at spending around 45-65 pounds per day on average. So your 3000 pounds would allow you to be on the road for around 6-8 weeks.
You write about walking, could you see yourself walking everywhere? Carrying a backpack with a tent and camping gear and sleeping roadside? It would stretch your funds significantly if you only had to worry about paying for food, clean clothes, the occassional ferry (or train across a bridge) and a small number of flights.
