I would like to offer my congratulations to a local trust who have just picked up an award at the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards 2008.

The Shetland Amenity Trust picked up the Green Award which was open to candidates that put the environment at the centre of their activities, commit to good environmental practice, and ensures high quality visitor experience.

Worth special note was the annual Voar Redd Up.  This is the largest UK community organised clean up and an event I have taken part in many times!!! Many a roadside drain has had my attention!.    For more about what the Trust does see the Environmental Improvement section of their website:
