Shetlanders know their islands best

Not one bit. And it should tell the potential developer that this particular plan could end up being a disaster economically for the investor.
Listen and learn from local people who just happen to be the most hospitable, warm, generous and welcoming folk I have ever met in my long and much-travelled life.
The people of Shetland know the world they inhabit far, far better than outsiders.
