Letters / They were not told
As soon as I learned of the Shetland Charitable Trust meeting arranged for Monday, 30 April, I contacted my SIC representatives Florence Grains, Frank Robertson and Gary Robinson, who are also SCT trustees, to ascertain their opinion.
None of them knew anything about it. This not only shows a singular lack of respect, decency, and consideration towards these three trustees, and possibly others, but also clearly illustrates the moral void those trustees, desperate to hand over a few more of our millions to their pet project, now find themselves in. We live in sad times.

Shetland News is asking its many readers to consider start paying for their dose of the latest local news delivered straight to their PC, tablet or mobile phone.
Journalism comes at a price and because that price is not being paid in today’s rapidly changing media world, most publishers - national and local - struggle financially despite very healthy audience figures.
Most online publishers have started charging for access to their websites, others have chosen a different route. Shetland News currently has over 600 supporters who are all making small voluntary financial contributions. All funds go towards covering our cost and improving the service further.
Your contribution will ensure Shetland News can: -
- Bring you the headlines as they happen;
- Stay editorially independent;
- Give a voice to the community;
- Grow site traffic further;
- Research and publish more in-depth news, including more Shetland Lives features.
