The Shetland Islands' potential return to Norwegian governance is highly speculative and would depend on numerous political, economic, and social factors. As of now, there is no formal movement or significant support for such a change among the Shetlanders or the UK government. Any shift in sovereignty would likely require extensive negotiations and a clear mandate from the local population. Thus, while it’s an interesting idea, it remains unlikely in the foreseeable future.
