Life in Shetland: Engineer by day, fiddle player by night

While visiting Shetland, filmmakers Diletta Pasini and Leonardo Filippini met engineering apprentice Ewan Hutcheson — a young islander building a creative, ambitious future close to home. Ewan is a third-year graduate apprentice at Malakoff Limited, working while studying towards his honours degree in mechanical engineering through Robert Gordon University. Staying in Shetland has allowed him to combine higher education with hands-on industry experience, showing that island life can offer real opportunities to learn and thrive. A lifelong Shetland resident, Ewan is also a talented musician, playing both fiddle and guitar. Living and studying in the islands means he can pursue his passion for music alongside his career, including performing at the renowned Shetland Folk Festival. In this film, Ewan talks about his work, his hobbies and what it’s like to be a young person creating a full and active life in Shetland. #islandsofopportunity #promoteshetland #shetland #engineeringcareers #fiddlemusic #shetlandlife Inspired by Ewan’s story?
