The Orkney Islands could change their status in the UK or even become a self-governing territory of Norway under new proposals.
A motion will go before the council next week to investigate
"alternative forms of governance".
Council leader James Stockan said Orkney does not get fair funding with
its current relationship within the UK.
He wants to look at Crown Dependencies like the Channel Islands and
overseas territories like the Falkland Islands.
He suggested another possible future could be like the Faroe Islands -
which is a self-governing territory of Denmark.
Councillor Stockan told BBC Radio Scotland there were many areas where
Orkney was being "failed dreadfully" by both the UK and Scottish
governments.

I thought the British Isles already were a part of Norway.
