^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The bright spark that allowed the thistle on the national tourist signposts was the SIC because at the time it was the emblem of the Scottish Tourist Board (now Visit Scotland) which is a government department and like it or not we are part of Scotland as far as national and international tourism goes. Having said that I would love to see Shetland with its own distinctive emblem instead of the Scottish weed – but certainly not the poorly drawn snail used by Promote Shetland. As far as VisitScotland is concerned I agree that as a national body they

All known fish fossil sites in Shetland, such as that one mentioned, are Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) because of their rareity and are protected by legislation so you are not allowed to hammer or otherwise break the fossils out of the bedrock. You can look but are not allowed to harm the site.

Unlike soil, blanket bog (peat) cannot absorb oil because it is 98% water. Water falling on our peat covered hills flows down slope through the surface vegetation or through small underground tunnels (peat-pipes). This water accumulates in burns and is carried into the voes. Oil and water cannot mix so almost all the oil sprayed on to the hillsides is carried by the water and accumulated into the lochs or voes – the reason you can’t find what the mitigation plans is, is because they don’t have one.

The same number of Shetlanders support the grind as support the battering of seals to death with clubs or drowning seals in salmon farmer's traps. The same number of Shetlanders support the grind as support the trapping and shooting of otters. The same number of Shetlanders support the grind as support the snaring and killing of puffins and gannets. That number is practically zero

^^^^^^^^^^^ Headhunting and eating the brains of huumans was also sustainable - (even into the 20th century in Europe) but that dosen't make it right because like the grind it inflicts unnecessary cruelty.

Arthur Anderson expat Shetlander and co-founder of the P&O shipping line guaranteed any Shetland seaman a job on one of his ships if he wanted one. How did he do this? He did it by sacking non-Shetland seamen and taking on Shetlanders at lower wages and on poorer terms and conditions – thus Shetlanders got the name ‘North Sea Chinamen’ because they were prepared to work on ships under poorer conditions than the ‘white man’.
