The National Museum of Scotland is coming under pressure from Westminster MPs to return one of the Shetland Islands' greatest treasures from Edinburgh to the newly opened museum in Lerwick.
Alistair Carmichael, the MP for Orkney and Shetland, is leading the fight to have the Saint Ninian's Isle treasure returned to its rightful home in the islands, and already he has won cross-party support. While the National Museums of Scotland is accountable to the Scottish Executive, Angus Robertson, the SNP's Westminster leader, has thrown his weight behind the islanders' campaign.
