Sandy Cluness Independent Sandy Cluness Independent Elections to Shetland Islands Council were held on 3 May 2007 the same day as the other Scottish local government elections and the Scottish Parliament general election.

The election was the first one using seven new wards created as a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004.

Each ward elected three or four councillors using the single transferable vote system, a form of proportional representation.

The new wards replaced 22 single-member wards which used the plurality (first past the post) system of election.

The council was one of only three in Scotland with a majority of elected members who were independents.
