Letters / Can’t wait

It is so refreshing to see the amount of interest in the First Minister’s visit to Shetland.

The venue for the event on Wednesday night sold out not long after the tickets became available, and now a bigger venue is needed.

It’s fabulous to see so many in Shetland engaging with the political situation, and keen to talk with both Hannah Mary, who is our representative in Shetland, and John Swinney, our well kent First Minister.

Can’t wait to hear the thoughts of Shetlanders, and how the future could look for Shetland within an independence Scotland.
