We realised a couple of years ago that most of our clients are women.

We hadn't really noticed before because it just seemed...normal? Normal to be working with accomplished, professional and interesting women.

A great listen from @Jenny_Sturgeon. Beautiful and interesting - the sounds of Scotland's National Trail.

Ever travelled to/from Shetland by boat?⁠
⁠
Some prefer to fly...but there is just something about getting here by sea with @NLFerries.

The views of the islands and our capital, Lerwick, are often spectacular.⁠
