GALE force winds combined with exceptionally high tides on Tuesday have resulted in several exposed coastal areas being flooded at various locations in Shetland.

With high tide at Lerwick harbour just before half past one, Hay’s Dock was fully submerged as Peter Johnson’s photo shows.

Please feel free to send in your coastal flooding photos either by e-mail news@shetnews.co.uk or via our Facebook page at https://business.facebook.com/shetlandnews/
