Well, are they still part of Scotland? If so, then they are now citizens of the Federated Kingdom (and hence at the very vanguard of civilisation, enightenment, etc.) ;) I have the feeling that the Shetlands are out of the way enough that _most_ FK issues won't affect them, and certainly very little of their history would affect the major themes of FK history (with all due resepct, of course!). Now, if they're able to get any helium out with their oil in the North Sea, then of course the FK will be quite interested. There are others better versed in History than me, so I'd defer to their opinions. I.e., John C.
