The ferry operator said that both the Hjaltland and Hrossey crossings were unlikely to go ahead, with an update to follow on Sunday morning.

The freight sailing of the Hildasay from Aberdeen on Sunday night has also been cancelled.

It comes with high winds forecasted for the isles throughout Sunday.
