A 25-metre pontoon extension has been proposed for Uyeasound Pier in Unst.

The Uyeasound Waterfront Trust has lodged plans for the extension with the SIC.

It is intended to provide more berthing and shelter from north-westerly winds.

The work would be done b y Gael Force Fusion, an Oban-based specialist in the commercial and leisure marine sectors.
