SCALLOWAY Hotel is one of only three hotels in the running for the Best Dining Out Experience in the Highlands and Islands Tourism Awards 2011.
Owners Peter and Caroline McKenzie took over the hotel in Scalloway's Main Street in April 2008.
Mr McKenzie said: “It's great to have made it onto the shortlist. We're working hard at building up a reputation for good food, and to win this level of recognition is a huge boost for both us and our staff.
