A retired Shetland police inspector and honorary sheriff has been made an MBE.

Arnold Duncan of Scalloway spent his entire policing career in Shetland and has gone on to serve the island community since his retirement.

The 68-year-old joined the force in 1966 as a constable and served through the local police division’s merger into Northern Constabulary.

He rose through the ranks spending time in CID before retiring having reached the rank of inspector in 1996.

Among his career highlights was spending time seconded to security at the Sullom Voe Oil Terminal around the time of its opening in the early 1980s.

He was on duty at the time of the Queen’s visit to open the terminal when a bomb planted by the Provisional IRA exploded in an assassination attempt on the monarch.

He was heavily involved in the subsequent investigation and was also involved in a number of offshore incidents, including fatal air accidents.

Since retiring he served on Scalloway Community Council, including a spell as chairman and also served with the Scalloway Waterfront Trust which was responsible for a number of improvements around the waterfront.

He also serves at Lerwick Sheriff Court as an honorary sheriff.

He has been made an MBE for services to the Constabulary Court Service and the community in Shetland.
