Shetlands votes No, 64-36

It was expected for No

Another small population area.

One interesting consideration if Scotland voted for Independence, is that the Shetlands might then vote for independence from Scotland...taking the oil with them.

The Brits could set them up with a status like the Isle of Man, and BP could handle all the work, while Shetlanders cash checks like lottery winners.

Western Isles (reported in Scottish language!)
voted NO 53-47

This was an area that would have likely gone Yes, if Yes was to win.
