A bomb disposal team has been sent to Lerwick Town Hall in Shetland after someone donated a "possible ordnance device" to an upcoming exhibition.

Roads in the area have been cordoned off after the item was discovered at the rear of the building at about 18:00 on Friday evening.

A spokesperson for Shetland Islands Council said the local authority received a donation of WW1 items for a display which is due to take place, adding: "Among them was a possible ordnance device, so the police were informed."

Police said it was believed the device was historic and non-suspicious, but inquiries were ongoing.

Police said anyone with information or concerns should contact Police Scotland.
