The latest show, a co-production between award-winning, Leeds-based Daisybeck Studios and Scottish Corcadal Productions, gained access to film on the iconic islands.
The five- part series on Channel 5 will showcase life on The Shetlands and the series will be narrated by Shetland BBC drama actor Mark Bonnar.
Shetland: Scotland’s Wondrous Isles launches at 9pm on Sunday.
