The impressive sum was raised through a series of events, including a sponsored walk from Lerwick to Scalloway, a festive onboard raffle and the sale of merchandise.

Ms Fullertron, who is from Scalloway, also underwent a sponsored head shave for the charity.

In the past, she has raised more than £50,000 for various charities, including for a kidney dialysis machine at the Gilbert Bain Hospital, Mind Your Head and Clan Cancer Support.

That now stands at £70,000.

Ms Fullerton has thanked her colleagues and all those who donated.

She said she was "absolutely delighted" with the total raised.

NorthLink crew select a worthy cause to support each year, with Prostate Scotland set to benefit from 2025's fundraising efforts.
