The Free Scotland Party is a minor political party in Scotland that stands for an independent Scotland, independent of both the United Kingdom and the European Union.〔http://www.scottishindependence.com/FSP.htm〕〔 The party was founded by Brian Nugent, from Shetland, after he left the Scottish National Party due to disagreements over Europe. The party holds up Norway, a non-EU country, as an example for Scotland. The party contested three constituencies in the 2005 general election〔http://by-elections.co.uk/GE2005/others_list.html〕 campaigning on the issue of the fishing industry in Scotland.〔 Maitland Kelly received 183 votes (0.4%) in Ochil and South Perthshire, Nugent received 176 votes (1.0%) in Orkney and Shetland, and Dallas Carter received 384 votes (1.0%) in Motherwell & Wishaw.
