Grey seal pupping season can begin early as mid-September and usually lasts until the end of November.
Summer time means lots monitoring and maintenance for the outdoor access team.
Now the weather is getting better we are seeing more people out around Shetland enjoying our beautiful landscape.
Please always follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code when enjoying your access rights, this is especially true when walking your dog.
