Unfortunately, you'll find that our islands have been obliterated by a 103 wind turbine farm called "Viking Energy".
And there're more to come. Infact, they're going to cover every last mile of our land and sea.
The raw, un-spoilt landscape that made Shetland special has been lost.
btw, we don't regard ourselves as Scottish or British.
All we got from Scotland was the cruel Lairds and Ministers and the cruel British Navy from Britain. During the Napoleonic wars the British Navy would try to capture and force young Shetland men into fighting for them because they were such good seamen.
Shetland is littered with hiding places called "Press Gang Holes" because it's where they would flee to hide from the British Navy/Press Gangs.
