AS THE snow thaws the wind is expected to pick up in the coming days – leading to NorthLink warning of disruption to its services.

The ferry operator says the Kirkwall calls on both of Sunday’s northbound and southbound sailings are likely to be cancelled, with an update to follow in due course.

Monday’s ferry trips between Lerwick and Aberdeen are both under review, with an update expected on Sunday morning.
