Yesterday the Scottish authorities passed a constabulary which makes it illegal to house the Shetlands Islands inwards an inset box on a map of Scotland.
Just every bit Hawaii is frequently shown inwards an inset box on maps of the U.S. the Shetland Islands are frequently placed inwards an inset box on maps of Scotland. By making it illegal to house the Shetland Islands within an inset box the politicians bring created a huge occupation for cartographers.
Or bring they?
My solution to this occupation is precisely Unboxing the Shetlands together with placing the remainder of Scotland inwards an inset box instead. This elementary together with elegant solution to the novel constabulary volition hopefully satisfy everybody.
Obviously my solution does non quite tally the missive of the alphabet of the novel constabulary which requires that the islands last "displayed inwards a fashion that accurately together with proportionately represents their geographical location inwards relation to the remainder of Scotland". However I intend it does tally the spirit of the constabulary inwards that it to a greater extent than accurately reflects the huge cultural together with historical significance of the islands. My map plainly has the additional practise goodness of putting Scotland dorsum inwards the box where it belongs.
