Sort of a reserve filming locations. The police drama Shetland is, obviously, filmed in part in Shetland, including the largest town Lerwick. This beach, between buildings on the town's waterside, is one location that often appears. Now out on the water...

There is a longboat, which if I remember correctly, is used for an annual festival. It often on the TV show in the background. It's rather noticable, if you have someone who shouts "Viking ship" every time it appears :)

Aldi the chick the new star on #Hollydell croft, #Shetland

Stacey Rendall said she had heard on social media that people elsewhere had successfully hatched chicks from #supermarket #eggs and thought she would try it herself.

So she asked her aunt to buy her a packet of eggs from her local #Aldi in Hampshire and to send them north to Shetland – a journey of around 800 miles.

High costs and unreliable #deliveries for #parcels in Shetland, report finds

Consumer #Scotland has published a report into its findings in #Shetland, #Orkney and the #WesternIsles, saying #islanders faced “high #postal costs” and “inconsistent services”.

A #RoyalMail decision to move postal #flights to #Glasgow instead of #Aberdeen has often been cited as resulting in longer delivery times in Shetland.

Some left seriously unimpressed by #Shetland #development charter

Concern at how little influence #local people have on planned #energy #developments

Biggest problem is that signing up to its principles is completely voluntary

Signing it off last week, #councillors themselves raised concern about the lack of environmental voices on its implementation board, and the impact a large additional #workforce could have on fragile #transport links
