Gutcher is a settlement on the northeast coast of Yell in the Shetland islands. From here, rollon/roll off ferry services to Belmont on Unst and Hamars Ness on Fetlar operate. The settlement has a harbour, and a former post office which, in 2012, reopened as a Bed and Breakfast. There is a café which is currently undergoing refurbishment.
During World War II, the Luftwaffe bombed the post office at Gutcher in an attempt to disrupt the communications system.[1]
