    It's joint endeavour of Duncan & cousin Eirene Houston, #documentary #filmmaker who curated #Havana-Glasgow #film #festival for last 10 years

    Events held across #Shetland over past 3 weeks, including well-attended sessions in #Scalloway & #Whalsay

  3. #Water shipped into #Skerries with levels low

    Prolonged periods with minimal #rainfall left the reservoir and storage tank levels low in Skerries, #Scottish Water said.

    That has meant the company is having to ship a road tanker full of treated water into the #island up to five times a week from #Whalsay to maintain people’s #water supplies.

    Scottish Water said this would “continue for the foreseeable future”.

  5. Customers in #Whalsay & #Yell left without power claiming to have been fobbed off

    Households reported having no power after their prepay customer keys stopped working

    Residents said #OVO had been “unhelpful”

    Speaking to OVO was useless, they didn’t know anything

    Another had to go off Whalsay to top up her 76 y/o great uncle’s card; he received no warning from OVO

    James spent two hours on phone trying to get a solution from OVO
