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 post office which doubles as a Bed and Breakfast. There is also a café.

The former post office, once subjected to aerial attack.

During World War II, the Luftwaffe bombed the post office at Gutcher in an attempt to disrupt the communications system.^[1]
