Citing rough weather, NorthLink has cancelled its call into Kirkwall, Orkney, on the southbound ferry leaving Shetland Wednesday evening.

Both Wednesday night ferries to and from Lerwick could also arrive up to an hour late, the ferry operator said.

Northlink had first warned of possible delays on Monday.

The Kirkwall stop on Thursday remains under review, with poor conditions expected through the weekend into Monday.
