• Viking Energy has paid off two if its staff members as it continues to wait for Westminster to reach a decision on support for island onshore projects.

• Maverick campaigner Stuart Hill has refused to submit a return of his election expenses, as required by UK law.

• A classical violinist with the world-famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra has spent a long weekend in the isles tracing his roots.

• Two of the country’s most successful metal detectorists tied the knot in Unst on Saturday night  – just eight months after cheating death.

…and much more.
