Football fans will have the opportunity to have their photo taken with the cup in exchange for a small donation towards the local football association’s trip to next year’s Island Games in the Isle of Wight.
Earlier in the day the cup is touring the town’s educational establishments, Anderson High School, Sound and Bell’s Brae primary schools.
JW Gray director Iain Johnston said: “We are all delighted to have secured this excellent opportunity for all football fans in Shetland. Tying the cup’s visit with a promotion to help the local football association will put the icing on the cake.”

5.30pm – The Lounge Bar;
6.30pm –Da Wheel Bar;
7.30pm – Lerwick Legion;
8.30pm – The Douglas Arms (Marlix)
The cup will remain in Lerwick on Wednesday where it will be on display between 3pm and 5.30pm at JW Gray’s depot on the Gremista industrial estate.
