    Ah, this was something that Skye lost too when it was connected. And locals still moan about it today, and with good reason. Driving on Skye is hellish. I think connecting an archipelago a bit different however. Shetland is hardly inundated as it stands today

      I live on one of the smaller Orkney islands, and the difficulty of getting here filters out many types of tourists found on Mainland (notably those with vehicles). Shetland is a little harder to get to than Orkney though.

        Some more tourists would be good for Hoy or Westray I’d think. Must be a bit too insular sometimes?
