A look into why the Orkney Islands is interested in leaving #scotland and the #uk and becoming a part of #norway instead. Following #brexit and the Scottish independence referendum, the UK is facing yet another dispute over sovereignty and self-determination. I explore the history of these islands, which at various points were under the control of the Gaels, Picts, Celts, #romans, #vikings, and eventually the kingdoms of Scotland and Norway. I also delve into the enormous implications that this case could have on the future of #international #law and #global #politics.
