Last weekend, an inspiring new exhibition celebrating the role of women in the fishing industry opened at The Shetland Museum.

The exhibition, titled 'Fisherwomen', features striking, large-format portraits of women who have worked in the fishing industry - both past and present. This captivating display pays homage to the significant role of women in the industry - from Shetland to Lowestoft.
