A group of tractors decorated with lights drives down a street at night, led by a green tractor with a sign reading "Christmas Tractor Run." People watch from the sidewalk.

THE POSTPONED Shetland Young Farmers’ annual tractor run got underway on Tuesday evening with a display of festively decorated tractors.

Setting off from the marts at 7pm, the tractors headed into town and made their way along the Esplanade.

This year the event was raising fund for Clan. Donations can still be made here.
