Constitutional status of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles

The constitutional status of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles has periodically been discussed, for example during the Scottish independence referendum campaign.
The island groups of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles are all politically integral parts of Scotland. They are council areas with the same constitutional status as the other 29 local government areas. The 3 island councils are the only local authorities among the 32 in the country where independent councillors form a majority.
In July 2013, the Scottish Government made the Lerwick Declaration, establishing a ministerial working group to examine decentralising powers to the 3 island council areas.
==History==
Orkney and Shetland had been annexed by the Norwegian crown from the tenth century, which in time became subsumed by the Danish crown.
In 1468 Orkney was pledged by Christian I, in his capacity as king of Norway, as security against the payment of the dowry of his daughter Margaret, betrothed to James III of Scotland. In the next year he pawned Shetland. As the money was never paid, the connection with the Scottish crown has become perpetual.
After the Acts of Union of 1707 Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles, along with the rest of Scotland, became part of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
