Wir Shetland


Wir Shetland is a pressure group demanding greater autonomy for Shetland, an archipelago of Scotland.
It was launched in October 2015, and campaigns for British Crown Dependency status for Shetland, which would separate it from Scotland. It compares itself to the Shetland Movement active in the 1980s and 1990s.
It backed Tavish Scott, the Liberal Democrat MSP for Shetland, in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election, causing resignations from the group.
