Shetland artist, born in 1975 on the most northerly island in Scotland, the Shetland Islands, draws inspiration from the local landscape. Having grown up in Lerwick, they loved playing in the lanes as a child and now enjoy drawing them. The different textures and shades, especially of the cobblestones, trees, and steps, captivate them. The way the light changes the atmosphere of the lanes is fascinating, and the history of this special part of Lerwick, along with its stories, intrigues them. They strive to capture the stillness and sense of timelessness in their drawings. Bigton, located at the south end of Shetland, was another favorite childhood haunt. It was home to their grandparents, where they spent many happy days playing in the hay and fields with Shetland ponies, cows, sheep, and playful little lambs. Recently, the artist has returned to their ‘Ness’ roots to celebrate the islands’ unique landscape. Their latest collections include paintings of abandoned 'yoals' (rowing boats), old croft houses, wildlife, and Shetland’s beautiful wildflowers.

The company continued trading under that name until 21 October 1970 when the name was changed to L.H.D Limited. Following the acquisition of the local net manufacturing and repair company D & A Duthie, a new subsidiary company L.H.D Net Mending Limited was set up on 5 May 1969 to continue the net manufacture and repair business and expand the range of supplies and services offered to its customers. L.H.D Net Mending Ltd changed its name to L.H.D Marine Supplies on 27 September 1996. January 1983 saw the takeover of local electronics company H. Williamson & Sons of Scalloway by L.H.D Limited. Together with four of the company's previous employees, a new company, H. Williamson & Sons (Scalloway) Limited was formed. The company specialises in the supply and servicing of electronics for the marine, aquaculture and fish processing industries. In 1985, L.H.D Limited took over J & M Shearers and formed a new company J & M Shearers (Ice Supplies) Ltd. New ice plants were built in Lerwick and Scalloway. The company continued to trade under that name until it became part of L.H.D Marine Supplies Limited in April 2004. In 1994, the local company Oceansafe Ltd, which specialised in the production of nets for the salmon and fishing industries, was taken over. Together with its former manager, a new company Oceansafe (Shetland) Ltd, was formed on 5 September 1994. The company ceased trading in February 2004. Nets are now designed, manufactured and repaired by L.H.D Marine Supplies Limited. The company also specialises in the supply of ship chandlery, wire rope and chain, fishing gear, lifting gear and the supply of fuel oil.

In 1986 Ken Beer began writing cost control software for BP Sullom Voe. The oil terminal was one of Europe’s largest, based in Shetland, a remote island half way between Scotland and Norway. The software was so successful that BP deployed it on multi-million dollar projects across the globe. Their cost of ownership dropped because it ran on IBM PCs, rather than the common mainframes of the day. In 1992, Ken met three friends near Kildrummy Castle in the Scottish Highlands, to found a company that would take cutting edge cost control solutions to some of the world’s largest oil and gas projects. That night, Kildrummy® was born. We soon opened offices in Houston, Texas, to service all the oil majors, independents and JVs who were rolling out Kildrummy® software. Twenty-six years later, Kildrummy is still building flexible systems that fit our customers’ policies and practices, because we believe in exceptional projects and exceptional service. That’s why our customers trust our software to manage trillions of dollars in project cost world-wide.

The oldest bar in Shetland, a very popular public house situated on Lerwick’s harbour front – keeping customers refreshed since 1895! A warm, welcoming bar serving very wide range of wines, beers and spirits including fine malts (ask for the menu) as well as freshly ground coffee. The bar has had a few name changes since a public house was first opened on the site. We understand it was first named the Seaview Vaults before the harbour, as we know it now, was built. It then became the Thule Refreshment Bar, around the 1895 mark. We know the bar lost its drinks license in 1920 when a Veto Poll in Lerwick returned a result that saw the town of Lerwick become “dry”. Just what were the folk thinking? We think they just sold peanuts and crisps for a few years during that great catastrophe! Lerwick became a “wet” town again in 1947 and The Thule Bar began to pour beer once more, we’ve been keeping the good citizens of Shetland and our many welcome visitors refreshed ever since. Cheers!
