    Not what I've been reading over the last few days. They've said that if the Islands vote no, and yes wins then they will ask to become a crown dependency. According to a map I saw they'd keep a fair amount of oil fields.. Was in the independent website today.

    Either your baits rank rotten or you really are a massive spastic.

    Either way you've lost.

    Q:&#8220;But what happens if Orkney and Shetland decide to stay in the UK, or to become independent themselves?&#8221;

    A: Orkney and Shetland are legally part of Scotland, and no more entitled to their own &#8220;local&#8221; referendum result than Falkirk or Peterhead or Sauchiehall Street. They could form an independence movement and campaign for a referendum on either independence or rejoining the UK, but no such movement currently exists. But even if they did, international maritime law would consider them to be what are known as &#8220;enclaves&#8221;, as their territory would be entirely within that of Scotland.

    That would mean the islands were only entitled to a 12-mile limit from their shores, and no significant amount of oil is found within those areas

    Will the borders stay the same if you vote yes? As I watched a farmer get interviewed whose farm was both sides of the border. Who was adamant he wanted to remain British. In this instance would the borders have to be redrawn?
