What steps would need to be taken so that eventually, all or part of the Hebrides (perhaps the Outer Hebrides) might feel a common identity with the people of Ireland and sympathize with some form of Irish nationalism. Perhaps they come to be seen as part of a greater Ireland and end up as part of an Irish-based state rather than a British one. I don't think it would be difficult, considering the common linguistic and cultural ties and the isolated nature of some of the outer islands... Is it possible, and if so when?
