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

There are others better versed in History than me, so I'd
defer to their opinions. I.e., John C.
