"Thus in feudalism landownership and sovereignty coincided, so that the Crown's sovereignty over Scotland and its dominium eminens, its ultimate tenurial superiority, were the same thing, were identical concepts".Simply put, sovereignty and landownership are the same thing.
Note 4 on the same page: "We still have a relic of this in the rule that the Crown cannot dispone but only feu, for to dispone would, in the feudal scheme of things, be to alienate not only land but also sovereignty".

"The dominium eminens or ultimate superiority of the Crown is allodial, because not held of a higher lord, except of God".

1469-05-28 pdf` The Earldom of Orkney and Lordship of Shetland: areinterpretation of their pledging in 1468-70 by Barbara Crawford
This is the document upon which Shetland is founded according to the Laws of Scotland. By its nature it does not give allodial ownership to the Scottish Crown. It is an impignoration, a pledge. All James III got, and all the Crown has ever had, was 'the king's lands' of Shetland (about 10% of the whole) held in trust until the Danes came up with the money to redeem them. 14 attempts at redemption were made, each one brushed off by the Scots for various reasons.

"All lands in Orkney and Shetland remain udal, excepting such as have been feudalised by charter emanating directly from the Crown, or indirectly through earldom or bishopric title". We can find no evidence of feudalisation in Shetland, in which case all lands would remain udal.
