A production firm based in Leeds which has helped boost tourism in Yorkshire thanks to its hit TV shows is hoping to repeat the feat – but this time in Scotland.

Daisybeck Studios is launching its new show based around the Shetland Island this weekend. The Leeds-based company has already boosted tourism on the Isle of Wight and Jersey and Guernsey after two of its hit shows saw tourists flocking to the destinatons after being showcased on TV, while The Yorkshire Vet also boosted tourism in North Yorkshire as a result of the show.

One of the key characters in the show includes Pearl Young, a crofter who appears from episode two onwards and has been working her land for years. She said: 'As long as my feet are on Shetland I know I'm okay. I've never set foot in England or been abroad.” The first episode is on the tiny island of Noss, with wardens Jen Clark and Sally Reay.
