Boxed into a corner

SCOTLAND can seem a foreign country to our cousins down south.

Peter Drummond notices in the TV Times, where the thriller series Shetland is being discussed, that it helpfully provides a map of Scotland – and circles Orkney to show readers where Shetland is.

It reminds us of the Scottish journalist who was asked by a London newspaper to nip to Shetland from Aberdeen – the London chap had looked up a map where Shetland was in a box just off the north-east coast.
