Plenty of family fun at Scalloway foy

THE SCALLOWAY Foy gave people of all ages something to enjoy as it took over the village this weekend.

From games for children, a piano-smashing contest and a carnival parade to food, drink and a pie-eating competition, there was plenty to see and do – even if the rain had other ideas early in the afternoon.

Thanks to Malcolm Younger for a selection of photos from the latter day of the day.
