The Scottish Sun Scottish Secretary Alister Jack has called for Scottish Government ministers to offer Orkney councillors a better funding deal after island councillors backed a motion to explore alternative governance.
This comes after Orkney Islands Council is set to explore its “Nordic connections” as it discusses alternative forms of governance which could see the islands’ legal status change.
Council leader James Stockan has put forward a motion which says it is time for Orkney to consider other forms of governance which could provide more economic opportunity.
Mr Stockan said he felt that Orkney is being “failed dreadfully” by Governments in both Edinburgh and London.
