    And about the Shetlands, the Treaty of Union actually destroyed the one part of the economy that was working, the Shetlanders trading with the Hansa. Pushed for by the .... Scots!

    Sorry, can't see any reason why the Shetlanders would want to stay part of Scotland or should do really.

      Pawning of Shetland

      the payment you refer to was the pawning of shetlands which was also not recognised and nothing to do with a dowry.

      I recommend the Oxford companion to scottish history great book.

        What is interesting is that the scots on this site do not have this inferiority/victim of the english, complex. Which is a shame really because we have no one to wind up on this subject.

              I presume they're on Contractor Scotland.

              Aha that's a point so if Scotland goes independent, will all the Scottish contractors go back to Scotland.
