Business / Two local winners at Highlands and Islands tourism awards
THERE was some success for Shetland in this year’s Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards.
Shetland Seabird Tours – The Noss Boat won the Best Visitor Attraction Experience prize.
The team behind the company – Rebecca Nason and Phil Harris – said on social media they were “truly shocked but utterly delighted” to have won.
Wild Skies Shetland, the Unst-based charity which “showcases the marvels and enormity of the skies”, also enjoyed success in the Working Together For Tourism category.
Meanwhile Lerwick restaurant No88 received a judge’s commendation in the best eatery section. Garths Croft in Bressay was also nominated in the food tourism category.
The awards ceremony took place in Inverness on Friday.
