In 1920 a dead 80' long blue whale with a harpoon sticking out of it floated onto the shore near Bragar. The village postmaster, Murdo Morrison, decided that its lower jaw would make a suitable arch over the entrance to his house and it was erected in its present position with ironwork joining the bones at the apex and the harpoon strung beneath as a decoration. While the harpoon was being prepared for this new role an unexploded shot blew a hole in a neighbouring wall - fortunately nobody was hurt.
