VIDEO footage shows how two landslips have taken place in the Kergord area today (Tuesday) amid heavy rain.

Video clips, taken by Sean Fillingham, can be seen below.

He said there were landslips on either side of the Kergord trees.

It comes after council staff have been clearing the road at the Weisdale Hill following a landslip there too.

Shetland is currently under a yellow Met Office weather warning for rain until 8pm tonight.
