Can I lead my shetland pony on a pavement If not can I lead her on the road or do i need to stand on pavement and her on road?

It depends how heavily populated the area is. If no-one is using the footpath, then by all means lead your horse on it. It's probably alot safer than the side of the road. Make sure to walk on the road-side of the horse, to prevent it swinging it's hindquarters out in front of vehicles.
If the footpath is being used then you will have to walk on the road. Make sure to wear something like a reflective vest or a bright jacket that will make motorists notice you. Wear a helmet. Again, walk on the side closest to the cars to prevent the Shetland swinging it's hindquarters out. If possible carry a whip to keep the hindquarters away from you. If the Shetland gets nervous then stop each time a car passes and let it look at the cars so it knows they won't hurt it.
I lead my miniature horses along the road all the time, and these methods are what I use. I've never had an accident.

You can walk your horse on the pavement, it will not hurt it. Even if your horse does not wear shoes they can be safely walked on pavement. Just be careful that the horse does not slip if the pavement is wet or slippery and its not a good idea to trot or canter on pavement for very long of a distance.

Is a half an acher big enogh for a Shetland pony?
A half acre can be big enough for a single Shetland but more land would be better. Especially if the pony would be grazing on the land, if you do place a Shetland on the half acre to graze you'll need to provide supplemental hay.

Is North Sea oil owned by the shetland islands?
To answer this question you need to do some research into the history of Udal Law in Shetland. The Shetland and Orkney Udal Law group (SOUL) can be found on the Internet and highlights the main points of the argument. Basically, although Shetland and Orkney are acknowledged as being under Scottish rule since the annexation, the annexation was not entirely legal. Shetland and Orkney were pledged as part of a dowry payment in 1468/9 with the understanding that sovereignty would not be handed over and the islands would be redeemed at a later date when the money could be raised. The Scottish Crown was fly - even though the Danish/Norwegian Crown made several attempts to regain control of Shetland and Orkney, the Scottish Crown refused. Shetland was increasingly brought under Scottish rule and the issue of sovereignty was never fully addressed. Under Udal law, outright ownership of land included the seabed - so if Shetland is still legally Scandinavian and Udal law has never been completely replaced, then the seabed around Shetland belongs to Shetland and not to Scotland. North sea oil around the Shetland basin therefore belongs to Shetland and the Scottish Crown is well aware of this. To openly address the issue of Shetland's sovereignty is thus to make this public knowledge...and the British parliament wouldn't want that...now would they? AW
