By Adam GuestBBC ScotlandThirty-seven sailing ships from around the world have arrived in Lerwick for the only Scottish leg of the 2023 Tall Ships Races. The ships, carrying more than 1,300 crew, have made the journey across the North Sea from Fredrikstad in Norway. It is the third time Shetland has hosted the event, having previously been a venue in 1999 and 2011. The races are designed to encourage international friendship and training for young people in the art of sailing.
