Bad news for Perth, Unionists from someone where outside of Scotland have found you and coloured you in green to show they know where you are to make you feel part of the Union.
Great news for Shetland though is that they still haven't found you yet.

Quote of the day. An old Gaelic proverb.
For example if you get ill and you don’t do anything about it the inevitable will happen. You have to take action to correct the illness. No matter how uncomfortable or frightening that may be because your only other option is ruin.
