In Focus
Lerwick, the largest town on
Shetland, is a fascinating blend of the old and the new.
It is a large and busy working port, and the terminus for the
NorthLink ferries to
Kirkwall and Aberdeen. Commercial Street and its environs retain a charm
seldom seen elsewhere these days. It offers a wide range of fascinating small shops. At the north
end of the port is the Böd of Gremista, a
fishing booth from the 1700s now open in summer as a museum. (

Featured Book
Eyes Turned Skywards by Ken Lussey (12 August 2024).
Wing Commander Robert Sutherland has left his days as a pre-war detective far behind him. Or so he thinks. On 25 August 1942 the Duke of Kent, brother
of King George VI, is killed in northern Scotland in an unexplained air crash; a second crash soon after suggests a shared, possibly sinister, cause.
Bob Sutherland is tasked with visiting the aircraft's base in Oban and the first crash site in Caithness to gather clues as to who might have had reason
to sabotage one, or both, of the aircraft.
