Letters / ‘Nothing more was ever heard of Tavish’s autonomy plan’

Contributed

I laughed and laughed when I heard the Lib Dems are taking an interest in autonomy.

I remembered how in 2013 [former MSP] Tavish Scott suddenly got interested in the subject.

He said that Shetland might become a “self-governing crown dependency, similar to the Isle of Man”. John Tulloch & Co. were very happy.

But nothing more was ever heard of Tavish’s plan!
