Cool!
I wonder... how do/does Shetland islands?/ Archipelago? fit into this?
They're just part of Scotland. Although the nearby Orkney Islands (also part of Scotland) have recently flirted with leaving the UK and becoming part of Norway.
Why Orkney and not Shetland (or does Shetland want to leave too)? I would've figured it'd be the one physically further away from Britain that would feel less affiliation.
Yeah, I know what you mean, it is a bit odd. I'm not sure why Orkney and not Shetland. Doubt it'll ever happen tbh!
They were mainly floating the idea in a bid to get more funding allocated from the Scottish government
Ah ok :-)
