A bomb disposal team has been called to Shetland after a suspected unexploded sea mine was discovered by a mussel farmer.

The device was found on the north west coast of the island of Yell on Wednesday morning.

HM Coastguard said teams were on the scene near Grimister and the area had been cordoned off.

A Ministry of Defence explosive ordnance disposal team is due to arrive on Yell at the weekend.
