Shetlanders are proud of their Viking history and heritage. None more so than when it comes to the annual fire festivals that kick start each year.

JR Umphray has the honour of being the main organiser and ceremonial leader of the Scalloway event. It's every boy's dream but getting everything together can also be a nightmare. As well as designing and supervising everything from the creation of bespoke Viking outfits to a replica galley ship, all eyes are on JR to get things just right for the biggest night in his community's year.

Wildlife photographer Richard Shucksmith is on stand-by when a pod of orcas – killer whales – are spotted in the seas around Shetland. It's a race against time to get to the perfect location to capture a glimpse of one of the islands' most incredible wildlife sights. Can he also capture the moment on camera too?

On the island of Yell, a pair of mussel men – brothers Marvin and Christopher Thomason – reveal the secrets of their specialist farm and how this delicacy is being shipped from Shetland to restaurants around the world.

And basket making is a traditional skill on Shetland that's been on the decline for decades. Until now. But part-time GP Deepa Shah is leading a group to reverse the trend and get Shetlanders making straw baskets once again.
