The White Wife of Otterswick is one of Shetland's more unusual and moving memorials - the figurehead of the German ship Bohus which sank in a storm off the coastline here, and which now commemorates the lives of four of the crew who were lost.

The White Wife is the restored figurehead of the German cadet ship Bohus which was wrecked nearby in 1924, with the loss of 4 lives.
