Letters / Make up your mind
Answering Leigh-Ann McGinty of Scalloway (Hill’s illogical path; SN, 19/03/14), undecided after reading comments on independence, is simple: make your own decision on what’s being offered for Scotland, which includes Shetland.
There will be no going back, the choice is final as this is not an election.
Shetland has a history of centuries of land exchanges, of titles etc, but the same could be said about mainland Scotland.
I love Scotland and defend my birthright but the decision is not to look back.
There is nothing concrete in independence and no guarantees are given.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.

- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;

- Grow site traffic further;
