Scotland’s iconic Orkney Islands considering quitting Britain to become part of Norway

Scotland’s iconic Orkney Islands archipelago is looking at ways it might split off from the U.K. and potentially become a self-governing territory of Norway.

Under new proposals brought forward by the local council, the Orkney Islands will explore “alternative forms of governance,” including changing its legal status within Britain.

The goal is to secure greater economic independence, according to council leader James Stockan, who brought the motion.
