The northern isles of Orkney and Shetland have been held by the Liberals, and then the Liberal Democrats, since 1950 - their longest tenure in Great Britain. The low-lying agricultural islands of Orkney and the oil-rich, wild and wind-swept Shetlands have a scattered, freethinking electorate, which is as distrustful of Edinburgh as it is of London. The Liberal Democrat MP, William Wallace, should be safe.
