   Sjofugla you are very right. I’m from Shetland and don’t really consider myself Scottish. If someone asks where I’m from I always say Shetland, never Scotland. I’m a Shetlander

2. Sjofugla - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

   Nortrix87, you’d be surprised by how many Shetlanders don’t feel scottish and would consider going back to Norway.

   I hope this will happen when Scotland goes independant.

   Scotland is the worst thing that ever hapened to Shetland.

3. Nortrix87 - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

   The norn language and the norwegian culture were removed by the scottish. The last norn speaker died in the 1800century.

   Thats probably why people on shetland feel scottish. Altought Vikings in blood they have lived for generations as “scotts”.
   Shetland shuld do what they want. If they want take back theyre Norwegian culture, they are welcommed home as lost brothers=)

   And if you knew anything about Shetland then you’d know that the Picts occupied these lands long before the Vikings did.

   The Picts were the original Scots and settled on these lands long before the 18000/19000!

   Your family were just inbreds to invaded certain parts of the land and ‘attempted’ to claim it as their own.

   I’m making the point that Scotland and England are nations whereas Shetland is an island which has been apart of Scotland before you, your parents and your grandparents were born.

   Shetland would not be entitled to any North Sea oil, so please, how would you sustain yourselves? Join Norway!

8. pxe - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

   You sound an awful lot like the English talking about Scots who want independence. And Shetland hasn’t been a part of Scotland ‘since time began’, try since the 17/1800′s, and even then it’s quite easily debated.

9. Sjofugla - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

   Your language speaks for itself….

   We’ll see……

10. chadstur1991 - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Fuck off you deluded moron.

    The oil and fishing belongs to Scotland and those waters are legally Scottish Waters. Whether you like it or not Shetland is apart of Scotland as has been since time began.

    I’ve been to Shetland twice, there’s only a minority of people like you who think their Norwegian and you all get slagged off for being deluded idiots.

    North Sea Oil is Scotland’s and no one elses. And once Scotland becomes independet guess what, Shetland will come with us.

11. Sjofugla - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Viking wannabees??. Get your facts right before you mouth off.

    You are fighting for your country and we are fighting for ours. Oh, and we’ll have all our oil and fishing back please…

12. Sjofugla - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Sandwickman is right. We don’t actually belong to Scotland and there is no legal document in existence that males us part of Scotland. I can’t wait for Scotland to go independant because it will open a can of worms in relation to Shetland and Orkney.

    seonidh, the “vikings” as you call them never raped and killed anybody. My ancestors(I have a family tree that goes back to 1472) came here from west Norway and Denmark to work the land and raise their families.

13. Maymona13 - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    SHETLAND. 5 stars!

14. seonidh - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Still the Picts were there long before the Vikings came as you can see in this video with the unique scottish brochs. The vikings took the islands by force from the Picts who united with the gaels to form Alba or scotland. So culturally the island was celtic and part of the british isles long before the vikings raped and killed the aboriginal people there.

    At 2.48 native Shetland tree (I think) clinging to a steep cliff, out of reach from grazing sheep.

16. GaaraXCookies13 - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    I have lived on Shetland for all 13 years of my life, and there is always somewhere to go and something to see.
    Going for walks on Shetland is just amazing!! You should all try it sometime!!
    =)

19. MouldyLemmon - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Ha yeah it’s not hard to get over the fact that Shetlands a GORGEOUS place to live!

20. BillDFC - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    It hasn’t belonged to Norway since the 15th.century.

21. OTLMusic - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    I love Shetland. Ive lived there all my life love the landscape pictures though

22. sandwickman - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Shetland belongs to norway by law it was a wedding gift to scotland and was not made legal. Just take a look at the shetland flag

23. chadstur1991 - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Don’t be such an in denial wanker.

    Shetland is apart of Scotland whether you Viking wannabees like it or not.

24. pxe - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    Some of the strongest wind you’ll ever experience, bitterly cold and with heavy rain, a lot of the time. Nice summers though.

25. deafussy - January 30th, 2010 at 11:50 am

    I’m from Chile, and I have got interested in Shetland Islands by reading Walter Scott. I must ask: what is the weather like there?
