THERE was something of party atmosphere on Commercial Street at the weekend thanks to Living Lerwick’s Peerie Hairst Spree.

The fun was largely contained in and around a marquee in front of the Royal Bank of Scotland – with live music, a bar from the Lounge and activities for children on offer.

The event was held between 12pm and 6pm on Saturday and Sunday.
