A SPOT the puffin competition, run as part of Living Lerwick’s shopping week, has been won by 10-year-old Kayla Shearer.

Twenty five retailers took part in the competition, displaying the same puffin in their windows for competitors to spot.

Living Lerwick manager Christena Irvine said: “We had a good response to the spot the puffin competition. It was great to see all the bairns on their search for the puffins during shopping week.

“We received 24 correct entries. All correct entry forms were put into a hat and director Ben Mullay of the Camera Centre picked a winner.”

Kayla won £50-worth of gift tokens from Aa Fired Up, Cee & Jays, George Robertson Ltd, Harry’s Department Store, LHD Marine Supplies, The Camera Centre, The Peerie Shop, The Shetland Fudge Company and Westside Pine.

She said: “It was good fun. A couple were hard to find and we had to go twice to find them. It was definitely worth it.”

Kayla’s mum, Julie Williamson, said: “We did it on a beautiful day. It was a great way to spend a morning with the bairns in the holidays.”
