SCOTLAND international rugby player Richie Gray was in Shetland on Friday promoting the appointment of Daniel Meadows as the isles’ rugby development officer.

The two year contract is being paid for by funding from Scottish Rugby and LEADER+. Mr Meadows is the first sport officer in Shetland dedicated to just one sport.

During his brief visit six-foot eight-inch Gray attended fun sessions with youngsters at Bell’s Brae Primary School, the Anderson High School and Shetland Rugby Club, at Clickimin.
