• Administrative / Biographical History

  The "OTTER BANK" served remote communities across Orkney during the 1960s, allowing islanders to manage their financial affairs without making the long journey to the mainland. The 6.5-ton boat, initially owned by the National Commercial Bank of Scotland, which later became part of the Royal Bank of Scotland, had staff to manage transactions including deposits and withdrawals and was fitted with an on-board safe.
