    Because they were colonized by Scandinavians

    Explanation:

    One of the main reason is that many Viking groups from Scandinavia. From the 9th century, Norsemen settled in Shetland. They set up their own civilization. They were later invaded by Harald Finehair, the first king of Norway and remained under the control of Norway. The Scots on claimed sovereignty in the Shetlands in 1223.
