Midsummer Carnival returns to Lerwick

Shetland News @shetnews

THERE was a party atmosphere in Lerwick on Saturday evening as the Midsummer Carnival returned to the streets.

The event saw numerous floats take part as well as emergency services and jarl squads.

The annual event raises funds for the Callum Younger Reach Fund.

Thanks to Marvin Smith for the photos.
