Still images taken from an emotional music video appeal to stop the closure of rural Shetland schools bring to life the sadness of those affected.

Some fear that they would be separated from their loved ones for most of the week, while others speak out at missing the fantastic extra-curricular activities like Brownies, football, and music lessons the community offers.
One child even said she doesn’t want to leave home as she would miss out on her family’s evening meal.
